I have repeatedly stated that I had no clue what I was doing there, as
I have no idea how Lisp data structures are implemented in C.  I have
begged in desperation that someone take a look at the patch before I
check it in.

No reaction.  So that's where we are now.

Does the following patch (where I, on a hunch, try using XSETBUFFER
whenever assigning a buffer, without a clue about whether this has any
relevance or not) change anything?

Note: I'll be probably gone before the next reply, till Monday.
