Any chance for a more accurate time frame? Or maybe even bisection?
Sorry, I don't have a to consistent way to reproduce this. But I have noticed that no crash has happened since I disabled the beacon package.
Thanks. Unfortunately, the backtrace makes no sense to me. The
buffer was pure ASCII, right?
If you mean the presence of Unicode characters, then I have the unicode box drawing characters too. The Org file content is not 100% 8-bit ASCII.
At least for the first 2K characters it
seems the answer is yes, because:

As you see, the character and the byte positions coincide, which is a
sign of a plain ASCII buffer text.
So it makes little sense that the assertion is violated, because it is
called to validate the same character position of 2874:

So something strange is at work here, and I cannot see what it could
be, especially with all those "optimized out" variables.
This time, I enabled logging to a file as there was no way I would be able to copy all that info screen by screen into the email. Does that option optimize out certain variables?
I would suggest to try an unoptimized build,
Hmm, I am already building Emacs with your suggested switches of -ggdb3 and -Og (from an earlier gdb debug in a different thread). Let me know if a different set of switches are needed.
and if the same crashes
happen there as well, perhaps the backtrace will tell something more
useful. It would help to know the value of bytepos argument to
init_iterator, and if it indeed is equal to charpos, the next thing to
look at is the buffer's markers.
I still have the gdb session alive if you want me to run some debug commands for you.
Thanks.
