bug#14091: 24.3.50; Crash switching buffer on TTY emacsclient session of NS emacs |

Hi Jan,
Thanks for having a look at this. I haven't succeeded in reproducing it in
either a clean environment or a minimal one with just server, desktop, and a
few other things. Even with my full environment I can only reproduce it maybe
one time every thirty or so. I still have a core from the crash the stacktrace
in the report is from, along with the sandbox and binaries used to build it. I
can give that to you if you'd like, but it does weigh in north of 200 megs
compressed and probably depends on my copies of libxml2/gnutls.
