It crashes here:
https://salsa.debian.org/xorg-team/app/x11-apps/-/blob/debian-unstable/xedit/lisp/bytecode.c?ref_type=heads#L1267
That code looks like at first sight it can caused unaligned access.
Please report this upstream here:
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/app/xedit
The maintainer works at Oracle on Solaris SPARC, so he would certainly
be interested to hear about this crash.
