  I'm getting the same thing on a 3/60 running 4.1 with Emacs 18.54.
  I'm getting a SIGSEG when I run xemacs (not when doing the 
load with temacs). I haven't had time to run it into the debugger to
see what is going on (or if I'm able to run it through the debugger).
  My hunch is that Sun broke the unexec() function...
