On further thought, it isn't a filename, that would start with / (assuming
buffer filenames are always absolute).  In that case, the question is how a
buffer name can be a unibyte string?

Some bad interaction between VM and Emacs?

That may be, but I was under the impression that Emacs internally should use unicode, so why is it even allowed to set such a buffer name? Shouldn't Emacs internals complain when given such strings, or convert them (if charset info is available)?

This will break for X also, as the title setting code assumes ENCODE_UTF_8 will do the trick, and then sets an UTF8_STRING as title. There has been some VM-related bugs reported for Gtk+ also. This may be the source of a memory corruption.

Is setting buffer name with a non-ascii unibyte string considered as a bug? Then this is a VM bug, but perhaps the title setting code should detect this also.
