I do think there is some race in the code, may be more than one.
I still have a crash that disappears when I run "texmacs -d myfile.tm"
instead of plain "texmacs myfile.tm". May be a trace of some asynchronous
initialization dependence bug. Traces show that some "eb->" dereference
a NULL pointer, might be that some edit box not created yet. Sorry, it
is hard to reproduce, but I can try on request...
