Thanks.  Doesn't crash here :-(  Tried on MS-Windows and on GNU/Linux.

The last one should have been

  `emacs --eval '(setq-default bidi-display-reordering nil)' ~/tmp/foobug.txt`

So we are looking at some strange memory-allocation bug or somesuch?

Can you try Emacs 26 on the same system where Emacs 27 crashes?  And
what about unoptimized build of Emacs 27 -- does it crash as well?

Finally, do you have local changes, or is this stock master HEAD?
