OK, that's what I've got.

Here's my configuration:

../configure --with-mule --with-dialogs=athena --with-widgets=athena \
             --with-xft=emacs,tabs,gauges,menubars --with-debug \
             --with-error-checking=all --with-union-type --with-memory-stats \
             --with-newgc --with-bignum=gmp --with-site-prefixes=/opt/local

  Compiler version:                  powerpc-apple-darwin8-gcc-4.0.1 (GCC) 4.0.1 (Apple Computer, Inc. build 5247)

What are your GC-related flags (--with-kkcc and --with-newgc)?

If you haven't sent a build-report using M-x build-report, please,
would you do so?  (If you have, I'll find it.)
