Thanks Pete. Actually, I have my custom variable stuff in two different files
already - one for emacs22 and one for emacs 21. The emacs-custom.el file is a
catch-all in case things were not working and theoretically, should never get
called or have anything written into it. However, I do suspect it is something
related to the customize stuff which is causeing the seg faults.
