Is this the upstream version, or does it include any local changes?

I meant the backtrace reported by a debugger.  Run Emacs under a
debugger, either GDB (preferred) or LLDB, and when Emacs crashes
produce the backtrace and post it.  In GDB, the command to display a
backtrace is "backtrace", or "bt" in short.  I don't know what is the
command in LLDB, sorry.

Does that site say anywhere if there are some changes?

According to https://emacsformacosx.com/about, there are no changes from emacs.git.

Unfortunately I am unable to run GDB, as it seems that GDB doesn't run on
aarch64.

I tried to debug using LLDB, but since I have no experience with these
things I was unable to do so. I can try to find some time to learn the
process next week, but it might take a while, as I have never done any
debugging before. Maybe someone with more experience has access to an Apple
silicon machine and can replicate the bug?

ps. Maybe I should explain, that the three-finger tap is a macOS feature
that can search for a dictionary definition, web search etc. on a
highlighted word as well as display info about files in the file browser
etc. I'm just explaining this as it is a os-specific utility that some
people might not be aware of. I have no idea how it works "under the hood".

If you open Console.app, you should see the Emacs crash there, under
Crash Reports.  Could you upload the report to this bug thread?

I can't reproduce the issue, but I am on macOS 12, not macOS 13.  Do you
reproduce the issue if you start Emacs from a terminal with "emacs -Q"?

Is this the setting you can configure at System Preferences, Trackpad,
Point & Click, Look up & data detectors, Tap with three fingers?

before and thus thought the bug was not related to my dotfiles. Still, the
same dotfiles do not result in this bug in my older version of Emacs.

I can try to pinpont the part of my init.el that is causing this bug, but
it will take a day or two.

Yes.With that setting off the bug does not happen.

I have taken a look at the backtrace and it shows that the crash is in
Apple WebKit when it tries to initialize the JS VM (the dictionary popup
is apparently implemented using a web viewer).  I've converted the
backtrace to plain text and attached it to this bug report.

Yes, that'd be helpful.  If anyone has a detailed recipe to reproduce
this bug, feel free to comment.  For know, I've tagged the bug as
unreproducible.

Thanks.

vterm is not part of Emacs, so I suggest to report this to the vterm
developers first.

I think I pinpointed the problem.
I was able to reproduce the bug with a minimal init configuration that only
loads the vterm package.

I'll attach the init file here, hope this helps!

I can do that. But I don’t know if the bug is in vterm as such or just
something that the vterm package installation “enables” in this particular
setup, as actually using vterm is not required to replicate the bug. The
crash happens after simply loading the package. There might be other ways
of causing this bug as well that might not be related to vterm.

It seems that installing vterm compiles something called "vterm-module".
This seems to be necessary to reproduce the bug.
So, indeed it seems this is a vterm bug. I will notify vterm developers.
My apologies if reporting this issue here was/is inappropriate.
Thank you,

Sami

This seems not to be a bug in Emacs, so I'm closing it.
