It's zero.

I'm suspicious about this "symbol". Is 0xd4269c0 a valid lisp value?

This vector is weird. The first entry is a symbol, but the second
entry looks invalid to me: all other symbols are aligned to 16-byte
boundaries, and I don't think 0x5757688 is even a valid pointer.

Can you check which symbol corresponds to 0x8df0 in your build? It
should be the one with 757 in its define line in globals.h

# define Qlibpng_version builtin_lisp_symbol (757)

A real-life bignum! Can you print x/2gx 0x11de53fc0 so we figure out
what its value is? (And what's creating bignums in your session?)

That's our corrupt word.

And that's the end of the vector block.

If you want to, you can try the attached patch and see whether it
produces anything poisoned rather than merely corrupt.

Thanks again!
