If I run temacs, everything's fine.
If I run emacs, everything's fine until I exit with M-x kill-emacs: I 
then get a SIGSEGV.

A gdb backtrace indicates:

Note that the gcc that was used in gcc 3.3, using GNU as 2.13.2.1 and 
the system linker (/usr/ccs/bin/ld).
Compiling with gcc 2.95.3 works ok, as well as gcc 3.2.2 (both using 
/usr/ccs/bin/as as the assembler).
