You probably have a Motif build. If you want a semi-stable build in
the 21.5 series, avoid use of Motif. (Yes, Motif is standard. The
problem is that nothing in X ever sanity-checks arguments, and Motif
is even less robust than the rest of X to bad arguments. Very hard to
debug.)

You have a stripped binary. If you build your own, don't do that; we
need to see the arguments being passed to the functions to understand
the behavior, especially where things went wrong.

Your stack is most likely corrupt. The vars_of_* functions should
only ever be called at startup time; redisplay_widget() definitely
doesn't call any vars_of_* function.
If possible, run XEmacs under the debugger which may be able to
preserve the stack.
