At 2014-09-13 18:21, Ken Brown was heard to say:

Hi,

I still get the crashes related to a suspected stack corruption with 
this version. This new version was most likely not intended to address 
this problem, but I thought you might be interested anyway. I'll post 
the details to the Emacs bug list, as usual.

regards,
Markus
