I just gave it a try with a compile that is just a couple of hours
older than your post, and did not see the SEGV.

I use gentoo's ebuild for 23.0.0, and end up with this configure line:

./configure --prefix=/usr --host=i686-pc-linux-gnu \
 --mandir=/usr/share/man --infodir=/usr/share/info \
 --datadir=/usr/share --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var/lib \
 --enable-debug --program-suffix=.emacs-23.0.0 --without-carbon \
 --with-x --with-xpm --with-toolkit-scroll-bars --enable-font-backend \
 --with-freetype --with-xft --with-jpeg --with-tiff --with-gif \
 --with-png --with-x-toolkit=athena --build=i686-pc-linux-gnu

Which toolkit do you use?  I've noticed that using gtk (as emacs'
toolkit) often leads to more bugs than the alternatives.....
