beta38-pre1 works if I compile without workshop support (see build-report below) If I compile --with-workshop xemacs crashes (see Lisp/C backtraces this looks very similar to the crash George reported in his bleeding edge OS/cc environment) If I start the xemacs-with-workshop using 'xemacs -nw' it seems to work fine (it complains about the missing pending-del but behaves quite normal). Hrvoje, I'm afraid I didn't understand your comment to George about 'pobj (?)'. If you could provide more detailed instructions for a novice debugger user, I'd be glad to help.
