Unfortunately, that is exactly where the debugger leaves me when I get
the crash. Otherwise I would have tried to track it down a bit more.
Note also that if I leave out the M-x text-mode, it doesn't crash. My
guess is that text-mode does something to the buffer that killing the
region doesn't like.
