According to the headers:

  #define       SIGABRT         6       /* Abort (ANSI).  */
  #define       SIGIOT          6       /* IOT trap (4.2 BSD).  */

So it's either Emacs doing an abort() (should be in the source
somewhere, possibly in a library), or I could also imagine the
terminal sending SIGIOT to indicate that Emacs did some nastiness.
But than maybe I'm off here, because I can't see why such a thing
should be usefull in the real world.

Looks like its about color.  Is it possible that the terminal just
doesn't like the escapes Emacs is sending to set colors?

Can you reproduce this under a debugger?  The stacktrace would be
interesting.
