AFAICT, they _are_ frozen. These names are in read-only memory, where
you cannot write. That's why Emacs crashes, AFAIU: the code is trying
to write to protected memory.
Just don't do that, cause it's gonna hurt...
Is it not possible to detect this before the illegal memory access, and
raise a signal in Emacs Lisp?
It won't be easy, if at all possible. And I'm not sure we even want to
do that. What would be the purpose of supporting such a use of Emacs?
Instead of raising a signal, I suggest:
diff --git a/src/data.c b/src/data.c
index 0f1d881e00b..76867d6787e 100644
