Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

remove .emacs and .xmodmap
start emacs
load some text file
move cursor to anywhere below first line
press <up> (curor up key)
-> Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault

other cases:
press <down> -> ok.
press C-h k <up> -> prints:
   <up> runs the command previous-line
      which is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `simple'.
   (previous-line ARG)
   ...
run previous-line manually -> ok. prints:
   "You can run the command `previous-line' with C-p".
press C-p -> crash.
press <up> in very first line of file -> ok (beeps).
bind another key to previous-line (e.g. global-set-key [f1] 'previous-line)
   and press that key -> crash.
bind <up> to next-line -> ok.
