[SOLVED] Emacs Segfault

Emacs reliably segfaults on exit. I cannot figure it out. I downgraded, upgraded, tried to compile from source, emacs-git, emacs-nox. No luck.

Here are a few examples.

jhaus@flexo /var/cache/pacman/pkg % emacs -Q --daemon

Warning: due to a long standing Gtk+ bug
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=85715
Emacs might crash when run in daemon mode and the X11 connection is unexpectedly lost.
Using an Emacs configured with --with-x-toolkit=lucid does not have this problem.
Starting Emacs daemon.
[1]    14156 segmentation fault (core dumped)  emacs -Q --daemon

And an excerpt from my journalctl:

Jul 23 17:18:03 flexo kernel: traps: emacs[15831] general protection ip:7f2446db3080 sp:7ffefdff3358 error:0 in libpthread-2.21.so[7f2446da1000+18000]

Jul 23 17:18:12 flexo systemd-coredump[15908]: Process 15907 (emacs) of user 1000 dumped core.

I'm out of ideas. Any input is welcome at this point.

Re: [SOLVED] Emacs Segfault

Is your system fully updated? By any chance is yours an Intel CPU? If yes do you have the microcode update?
