Heh, I've tried -- but it is not easy.  When compiling with gcc, the
crash happens during garbage collection.  I have gone to some length
with tracing that bug, and it seems that something gets corrupted in
all the `add-minor-mode'-s, and extents created there.  For more
success, I would probably need a memory debugger.  None is at my
disposal at the moment.
