This crash was fixed fairly recently, I think:

2007-12-05  Stephen J. Turnbull  <stephen at xemacs.org>

	* search.c (simple_search): Fix underrun in reverse search.
	(search_buffer): Clarify decision to use boyer_moore or not.

To avoid it you'll need to update to the tip of the trunk.  We've
moved to Mercurial (see http://www.xemacs.org/Develop/hgaccess.html
for a brief introduction to usage) for mainline development.  But for
a little longer this will be mirrored to the old CVS repository (this
patch should be in in there).
