Intermittent crashes, sometimes with a stackdump produced, sometimes not.
Generally after several hours/days of execution.  As I said, not repeatable 
enough to be useful.

And if I could start X under 20040217, emacs might well not crash.

>You wanna try debugging emacs? 

I'd have to try debugging X first.  Guess I'll dust off the instructions 
for building a debug X server.
