bug#4742: 23.1.50; emacs -Q crashes on GNU/Linux

["Jan Djärv" <jan.h.d@swipnet.se>]

How about /etc/X11/app-defaults or /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults?
Do you have any of these environment variables set:
XAPPLRESDIR, XUSERFILESEARCHPATH, XFILESEARCHPATH, XENVIRONMENT?
How about /usr/lib/X11/Xresources?

Also, check out
% xrdb -query

Make sure all these places aren't setting any X resource that applies to Emacs.
