[CRASH] in -nw mode / image specifiers

This is under debian woody, latest CVS version. ,---- | - Start XEmacs (21.2) in no-window mode. | - Do: (set-face-background-pixmap 'default "a/path/to/a/pixmap/file") | - Do: C-x 2 (split-window) `----- For me, it crashes immediately. The concerned face-property is the following: #<image-specifier global=((tty) . [string :data "~/share/images/tile/marble.xpm"]) 0x1c8> which looks really bizarre to me. Here the C stacktrace that I get (after a core dump, I can't run "XEmacs -nw" within gdb). What I don't understand is that XEmacs is calling text_query_geometry on the *pixmap file name*. This sounds like a completely bogus image specifier behavior to me, but maybe I'm wrong. I'm not familiar at all with the specifier code, so I can't debug this. Any ideas are welcome.
