bug#2426: 23.0.90; .Xdefaults break emacs on MacOsX

Please write in English if possible, because the Emacs maintainers
usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the [email protected] mailing list.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
* Install this file as ~/.Xdefaults
-------

-------
* start emacs-23 (I'm using a nightly build from http://porkrind.org/emacs/) on MacOS
* `M-x set-default-font<RET>monaco 14'

Emacs crashes.




If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/Resources/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
