If this is right, there may have been a fix committed to trunk but
missing from the release branch (since Bug#11395 was reported for the
24.0.96 pretest).

If you can, please try bisecting.  That would help tremendously.  The
(so far incomplete) recipe posted by Richard Stanton in the bug page for
Bug#11395 may help if you can reproduce it.

Running `valgrind ./temacs -l loadup' works for me (apart from the usual
cloud of false positives due to GC).  But maybe it doesn't work on Mac
OS, I dunno.
