This fixes the magit bug: https://github.com/magit/magit/pull/650

Might be useful in diagnosing / fixing the underlying Emacs bug.

Is it possible to have a full bug report, done with report-emacs-bug,
and with a recipe to reproduce the problem, and perhaps even a
backtrace from the crash?

Thanks in advance.

I might be misunderstanding your question, but I created the original bug report (at 

http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=14378) via report-emacs-bug, and included a repro from emacs -Q. I dumped an OS X console crash log that may be obscuring the information that report-emacs-bug includes, but it's there toward the bottom of the email.

I haven't done a backtrace with gdb before but when I get some time I'll look into it.

If I'm misunderstanding or there's more I can do to help, please let me know!

I'll include the repro here as well:

* Repro from emacs -Q:

0. Obtain magit. I'm using 924a56fe24c3c4acf55daa7266b2e9ad4fc30abb (master
HEAD as I write this), but I have also seen this happen with earlier
versions for several weeks.
1. (add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/magit")
2. (require 'magit)
3. Open a file that is in a git repo. For example, I can repro using my own
.emacs.d, https://github.com/sandinmyjoints/.emacs.d. It's not very big
(184 commits).
4. Do command `magit-status`
5. Hit `l` for magit-log
6. Hit `l` for short log
7. Hit `q` to bury log.
8. Hit `q` to bury magit-status.
9. Repeat steps 4-8 until crash.

With my normal .emacs.d, I can repeat it only 2-3 times before crash. With
emacs -Q, it takes more like 5-8. Step 6 seems to get a little slower each
time it is run.

Thanks,

William

Hello.

I repeated this 30 times, both on trunk and 24.3, it did not crash.  

Can you try this on trunk?

To obtain a gdb-backtrace:

% gdb Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs

(gdb) r

<when in crashes>

(gdb) bt full

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
months, so I'm closing this bug report. If the problem still exists,
please reopen this bug report.
