emacs (21.3 and CVS) crashes immediately (new build on SPARC/Solaris 8)

[Andreas Florath]

      Hello!

      I cannot get the emacs to run under Solaris 8.  It crashes
directly after startup with a Segmentation Fault:

 > emacs
Fatal error (11)Segmentation Fault
 >


      I tried the versions 21.3 and the todays (20040223) cvs snapshot
with the same result.


System Environment:

uname -m = sun4u
uname -r = 5.8
uname -s = SunOS
uname -v = Generic_108528-24

binutils 2.14 20030612
gcc version 3.3.2 (using GNU ld)
coreutils 5.0

Configure call:
./configure --with-x-toolkit=athena --with-xpm --with-jpeg --with-tiff 
--with-gif --with-png --with-x

Note: for me it looks a little bit suspicious that the 'fun' are
negative?!? (starting in frame 23)

If you have some hints or need some more information, feel free to
ask.
