I see.

...
 This is a problem with internationalized software; the build
 environment and the run environment may be different.  I don't see why
 this should bite you, I don't see anything in your backtraces that
 indicates you have called an OS utility that would try to "speak
 German" to XEmacs. 
Actually, he did.  GNU Libc is localized for German and I was able to
crash XEmacs/Mule by running under a French locale and then forcing an 
error message related to sound.

...
 However I believe the current idea is to build XEmacs in the C
locale, 
 so that the build environment is constant, then run it in your own
 locale.  Have you tried `LC_ALL=C make beta; LC_ALL=de_DE src/xemacs'? 
It's supposed to work that way.

Jan, please try the attached patch and see if building in your normal
German locale works.
