No, I don't have an easy test case, though I suspect it would be very easy to trigger by adding one more DEFVAR_LISP() to the main source code of 21.4.12; since the dyamic loading of my .ell file triggered it on its first DEFVAR_LISP(). Things to look for: staticpros has a length of 1346 elements before the DEFVAR_LISP(), and this additional staticpro causes it to lengthen. You probably would have hit this in 21.4.13 anyway. (actually now that I think about it some more, there must be a lot of defvar_lisp() equivalents in all the .el files i load in my init.el that would contribute to getting this array that high. hmph.)
