I have, though.  This is compface 89.11.11-9 (with changelog and rules
indicating this fix) and xemacs 19.14-1:

% xemacs -q -no-site-file -l crash.el -f crash

Fatal error (11).

Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.

Where crash.el is a small file to display an XFace and (make-frame).

James LewisMoss closed this bug because it didn't occur with 19.15 and
I was happy to wait until it came out to upgrade.  Unfortunately it
appears that 19.15 won't be in Debian 1.3. :(
