I assumed
someone would recognize WHAT part of a buffer from the contents of the,
list, a mixture of conses with marker-in-no-buffer in the car of some and
Lisp_Misc_Free in the car of others, the cdr's being negative numbers
of pretty small absolute magnitude.
I didn't see that when I looked at the other message. Can anyone
guess what data this is?

Are there any tools to help with this, e.g. an allocation trace or GC trace?
I'm afraid this is the first time I've looked at the Emacs src code.
The x... GDB commands in .gdbinit are useful for examining data
structures during GC.
`last_marked' and `last_marked_index' keep track of the sequence of
data objects that were marked. You can use that to determine precisely
how the bad data was reached.
