+** Emacs built with tree-sitter crashes when some *-ts-mode is turned on.
+
+The crash is in many cases an abort due to run-time detection of stack
+smashing, and it happens when one of the *-ts-mode modes is turned on
+in a buffer.
+
+The reason is that the tree-sitter library changed its Application
+Binary Interface (ABI) between version 0.22.2 and 0.22.4, but did not
+increment the ABI version number. Therefore, Emacs compiled with
+tree-sitter versions before the change will try to use the shared
+library after the change, and crash due to incompatibilities in the
+ABI.
+
+Until and unless the tree-sitter developers release a library with an
+updated ABI version, the solution is to rebuild Emacs with the actual
+library with which it will be used. If you cannot rebuild Emacs,
+downgrade your tree-sitter library to version 0.22.2 or older.
