I cvs updated and initially configured without the portable dumper. I
got the same problem reported a couple of weeks ago, namely:

So I configured with the portable dumping enabled.

When I try to run temacs I get the following before any window appears.
dr2% ./temacs
Fatal error (11).
When I run it under a debugger, I get the following traceback. I hope
it is of some help.
shut_down_emacs(sig = 11, stuff = 0) ["emacs.c":2494]
fatal_error_signal(sig = 11) ["emacs.c":257]
_sigtramp() ["sigtramp.s":59]
pdump_load() ["alloc.c":5051]

main(argc = 1, argv = 0x7fff2f24, envp = 0x7fff2f2c) ["emacs.c":2261]
__istart(<stripped>) ["crt1tinit.s":13]
If it helps, i is zero in the loop where it fails in pdump_load.
I now have no way of running the latest stuff, so some help fixing it
would be appreciated.
