Hello, Attached is a file that crashes Emacs on find-file (find-file-literally does not crash). E.g.: tar xf foo8.tar LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 emacs -Q -nw --eval '(find-file "foo8")' *poof* Setting the locale to 'C' makes it not crash. Reproduction may depend on the environment Emacs was run from. It has been shown to crash in screen(1) but sometimes not in xterm directly or as an X client. The crashing function is: #25 0x000000000048a656 in encode_coding_utf_8 (coding=0x3435d80) at /opt/lude/soft/emacs-25.3/src/private/x86_64_pc_linux_fedora14/../../orig/src/coding.c:1499 Versions checked: 24.5.1, 26.3, and Git master: 34ae2d0c22 (2020-04-01 22:02:55) Thanks.
