This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Several dozen times now over the course of a couple months, I've had
emacs core dump on me.  This is a vanilla emacs-21.3 with leim-21.3
compiled from source, running on a GNU/Linux Debian unstable box.
Always it occurs as a result of aborting some command with a C-g.  C-g
does not alway cause this result.  Usually, emacs has been running for
some time, and I've been using Gnus extensively.  I carefully
collected a core file from the most recent crash.  Gdb says:

  Core was generated by `emacs --iconic'.
