[emacs 21.4] Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault (core dumped)

[Xu Qiang]

Hi, all: 

I am compiling emacs-21.4a.tar.gz from src. The compiling is quite easy and 
successfull. However, when I run "src/emacs -q" to test it before installing, 
it told me: 
---------------------------------------------------
Fatal error (11).Segmentation fault (core dumped)
---------------------------------------------------

My OS is FreeBSD 5.3 for i386.
