And a strace confirms that emacs does various things, apparently due
to /usr/share/emacs/24.3/lisp/vc/vc-git.elc for git directories.

I couldn't reproduce the crash with strace and -Q, but I could
reproduce it with:

  strace -f -o str.out /usr/bin/emacs24 -q foo

I'm attaching the strace output (compressed with xz).
