Another question: is the buffer 'b' here:

> 0x000000000058aae0 in unchain_marker (marker=0x88e9968) at marker.c:605
> 605         for (tail = BUF_MARKERS (b); tail; prev = &tail->next, tail = 
> *prev)

a live buffer, or is it a buffer that was killed?  A buffer is live
if its name is a string, not nil.  Try this:

  (gdb) p b->name_
  (gdb) xpr

(The "xpr" command will only work if you "source .gdbinit" from the
Emacs src directory.)
