 Are the precompiled binaries built on a XEN3PAE_DOMU box?
 
 I've found that emacs built on a XEN3PAE_DOMU i386 box will work 
 locally but segfault on a non XEN i386 box and vice versa.
 See the tail end of PR pkg/46632.
 
 This is the only noncompatible binary I've found between xen and non-
 xen and its somewhat annoying.
 
 cheers
