Below is the output of "apt-get install emacs23": Emacs does a lot of funny things (e.g. has its own malloc implementation, used on some configs), but I don't see the connection between your assertion failure and some presumed reliance on a 4KB page size. Indeed, your assertion failure refers to "malloc.c" and identifiers which don't exist in Emacs's source code, so it looks like this Emacs was not built with Emacs's own allocator (whose file name is gmalloc.c), but with the standard malloc, so I don't think we can help much at this point. If you can build the Emacs executable yourself, reproduce the problem with it, and show us the build log, we might be able to dig deeper, but without this info, all I see is that libc's malloc burped (which usually indicates some memory corruption which can come from anywhere in the megabytes of code involved).
