Doesn't sound like anything I've ever seen.

Get us a C backtrace with debugging symbols (you'll probably need to
build from source RPM, installs from binary RPMs almost _never_ have
them), or there's nothing we can do.

$ gdb /full/path/to/xemacs | tee xemacs.trace
(gdb) run -vanilla
... churn, churn, churn --- crash ...
(gdb) bt
... output which probably scrolls out of view, no problem ...
(gdb) quit

and mail the contents of xemacs.trace to [email protected], along
with all the information in the previous report.  Also, send us the
Installation file.  You should be able to get a copy with

$ xemacs -vanilla -batch -eval '(princ Installation-string)' > xemacs.Installation

(as this bypasses the X code where XEmacs is apparently crashing).
