Hi Pete,

I've already tried that. The custom file (the correct one for the version of
emacs i.e. 22) is getting loaded and all the customization seems correct. In
fact, there don't seem to be any problems after starting emacs. However, when
you go to do certain operations after emacs has booted, such as start a mail
reading client, you will go to perform some operation and emacs crashes with
the segfault error. As soon as you use just a single init file, there are no
problems. 

I'll keep experimenting and see what happens. I have considerable amounts of
custom stuff and eliminating them in a methodical way is time consuming.
