As we are about to release AUCTeX 11.55, we are in need of a
workaround for 21.4.16.  David posted the following on the AUCTeX list

(string-match "\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(\\(.\
               \\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)\\)" "x")

but didn't consider it a real and bullet-proof solution.

As a last resort we could prevent the regexps triggering the segfault
from being applied in XEmacs.
