The short story is that the problem is caused by:
(setq load-source-file-function 'load-with-code-conversion)
I think it is misleading to say the problem is caused by this code,
since this code is both correct and totally necessary. The problem
is caused by a bug somewhere else.
You are of course correct.
at which point when we are returning from insert-file-contents,
something corrupts the stack, so that we cannot return, and we
segfault badly because of it.
That is the bug we have to find and fix.
Yes, but how? I don't actually think that this bug is in Emacs, but
in OpenBSD. I compiled Emacs using -ggdb3, just so I could get some
more detailed data, but that to my suprise that worked like a charm
(my network connection died in the middle when compiling .elc files,
so it did atleast dump emacs).
I'll investigate some more, but I don't think it is something that can
be fixed in Emacs, since from the looks it is something to do with how
OpenBSD/macppc does stack protection.
Ryan, could you resend me the login data for your macppc box? I lost
it when my network connection died (don't know if you saw my message
on IRC).
