Emacs crashes at startup (Seg Fault) on Cobalt Cube 2

[Stéphane Mariel <stf@ft-edu.net>]

Hi!

I'm experiencing a bug using emacs (both 20, 21) under X11 (emacs -nw is 
working).

The system is a Cobalt Cube 2 running SID (synced with the mirrors)

Here are the results when starting emacs :
# emacs
Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault

with gdb (more information below) i got :
(gdb) r
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x2ac2f9ec in XtInitializeWidgetClass (wc=0x10082a9c) at Create.c:824

I'm not sure which of emacs or Xt behaves unlikely. It may be close to 
an already known bug (closed) related to the binutils release : 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=126918

Any thoughts ?

Stephane

PS: the X11 display is remote (either Xfree(i386-linux) or X-win32 
(i386-win2000))
