Emacs consistently core dumps

Emacs consistently core dumps

[Mike Irwin]

Every time that I quit Emacs after having it open for some time, Emacs
dumps core with a SIG10. It also occasionally happens at other times,
like opening a new frame. I've done some searching on this, but don't
seem to come up with anything related to the problem I'm seeing.

I'm not really sure how to go about debugging this, so I would
appreciate any tips. I have been saving the dumps, since I figured
they may hint to a solution.

GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386--freebsd, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Please post this report to gnu.emacs.bug, not here.  (If you use the
command "M-x report-emacs-bug RET", it will do that for you, and will
also automatically add important information about your system.)

For core dumps, the first step is usually to create a backtrace with a
debugger by running it (the debugger) on the core files.  Please
include the backtrace in your report to gnu.emacs.bug.
