To work around the crash, try configuring and building with
--with-xim=no.

To help us debug, build XEmacs with CFLAGS="-g -O2" in the environment
and see if you can still get the crash.  This ways, we should be able
to oberve the values of the arguments to the various functions.  If
so, please post the traceback, again.

The registers are not very helpful to me, as I know little about the
Sun architecture.
