Following up on this, if I run the process under GDB, I get a more
complete stack trace, which shows that this may be related to XIM (see
below). Interestingly, running the same binary (over an NFS mount)
from another Sun Sparc (though a different model) works fine -- no
crash.

Your files have been auto-saved.
Use `M-x recover-session' to recover them.
Your version of XEmacs was distributed with a PROBLEMS file that may
describe
your crash, and with luck a workaround. Please check it first, but do
report
the crash anyway.
Please report this bug by invoking M-x report-emacs-bug, or by
selecting
`Send Bug Report' from the Help menu. If that won't work, send
ordinary
email to `crashes(a)xemacs.org'. *MAKE SURE* to include this entire
output
from this crash, especially including the Lisp backtrace, as well as
the
XEmacs configuration from M-x describe-installation (or equivalently,
the
file `Installation' in the top of the build tree).
*Please* try *hard* to obtain a C stack backtrace; without it, we are
unlikely
to be able to analyze the problem. Locate the core file produced as a
result
of this crash (often called `core' or `core.<process-id>', and located
in
the directory in which you started XEmacs or your home directory), and
type
gdb /usr/gnu/bin/xemacs core
then type `where' at the debugger prompt. No GDB on your system? You
may
have DBX, or XDB, or SDB. (Ask your system administrator if you need
help.)
If no core file was produced, enable them (often with `ulimit -c
unlimited')
in case of future recurrance of the crash.
