Paul, please use
Help->Send Bug Report... 
or
M-x report-emacs-bug 
as suggested in
http://www.xemacs.org/Debug/index.html

This will tell us enough about your XEmacs installation so that we
should be able to help you.

If XEmacs does not build or start up, please send any version and
configuration information you have to xemacs-beta at xemacs.org with any
mailer as plain text (MIME attachments are OK, please don't send HTML
mail).

On linux type
ulimit -c unlimited
in the shell before starting XEmacs from it, else you might not get a
core file.

Best regards,

Adrian
