APPROVE COMMIT 21.5 Not relevant to 21.4. This was either introduced or unmasked by Aidan's 2007-02-06 patch to specifier.c. The crash is reproducible and occurs as soon as VM tries to create a new frame after M-x vm. I don't know if these are exactly the desired semantics, but it's pretty close. Since the function is only called by VM, it's hard to test in context, but it works for me in VM and when called in an X11 frame or a TTY frame.
