Did a git bisect to find the bad commit, and it was in fact the commit
Hiltjo identified: 377bd37e212b1ec4c03a481245603c6560d0be22, "Handle
IME input".

The output of 'locale' on my system is attached in "locale.out". It's
all en_US.UTF-8.

I've fiddled with the code very slightly to try to figure out what
change introduced the segfault, but no luck. Might toy around a bit
more if I feel confident I'm not going to break things.
