I cannot reproduce the crash, neither in Emacs 28.2 nor in what will
soon be Emacs 29.1.  Does this happen if you start with "emacs -Q" and
then follow the recipe you posted?

In any case, if you can run this under GDB and show backtrace after
the crash, it might help (assuming your Emacs was built with debug
symbols and not stripped).

Thanks.
