Hi,

with -current libc versions 12.33 and 12.34, XEmacs 20.4 dumps core
during startup on mac68k with 

Lisp backtrace follows:

  # (unwind-protect ...)
  # (unwind-protect ...)
  valid-instantiator-p("Red3" color)
  # bind (how-to-add tag-set locale value specifier)
  set-specifier(#<color-specifier global=<unspecified> fallback=#<color-specifier global=<unspecified> fallback=(... ...) 0x175> 0x1d1> "Red3" global x append)
  # bind (how-to-add tag-set locale value property face)
  set-face-property(text-cursor background "Red3" global x append)
  # bind (how-to-add tag-set locale color face)
  set-face-background(text-cursor "Red3" global x append)
  # bind (rp bp dp hp stp ulp bgp bg fg fn name face-sym append set-anyway locale face)
  x-init-face-from-resources(text-cursor global)
  # bind (devtype locale face)
  init-face-from-resources(text-cursor global)
  # bind (face G36696)
  init-global-faces()
  # (unwind-protect ...)
  # (unwind-protect ...)
  make-device(x nil)
  # bind (display)
  make-x-device(nil)
  init-x-win()
  # bind (debugger debug-on-error command-line-args-left)
  command-line()
  # (unwind-protect ...)
  normal-top-level()
  # (condition-case ... . error)
  # (catch top-level ...)
Segmentation fault - core dumped

(gdb says nothing helpful on the core dump) 

-- while it runs just fine with

-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel   404552 Sep  6 09:52 libc.so.12.31

Has anybody else seen this? I could simply rebuild XEmacs, but that's
a lengthy task and it could just as well leave me with an editor
referencing a hosed libc version... so I thought I'd ask, first.
