 So Joseph, you might want to try out version 1.31 of the psgml
package,
 available in pre-releases.  Please let us know if it fixes the problem
 for you or not. 
I tried out the version currently in debian/unstable, and the problem
seems to be fixed.
the versions I'm using now are:
emacs-version:
Value: "21.4 (patch 8) \"Honest Recruiter\" XEmacs Lucid"
psgml-version:
Value: "1.2.2"
the previous crashes were very repeatable.  visiting an empty XML file
before any other XML file had been loaded (and therefore before the
mode had been loaded, I guess) caused a crash.  visiting non-empty XML
files sometimes crashed, sometimes not.
BTW, thanks for the quick response.  last time I submitted an emacs
bug (it was not, I think, an xemacs bug) I waited something like 3
years before I heard anything at all.  in fact, the long delay made me
sorta impressed when I finally heard back that the bug was fixed.
