 Eric, try applying the following patch to lisp/x-compose.el and
 recompiling it
 
 If this patch doesn't fix your crash, I really, really want to know
 about it.  :-/ 
It works fine now! Pressing ' now results in ' and does not crash
XEmacs any more.   
 
 Oh, BTW, if you are using CVS or patching up, keep the original
 around because the patch I intend to apply will be more complicated,
 and you'll either get a failed patch or a file which is not in synch
 with the repository. 
I'm using version 21.2.46 and Greg Parker's patch to make XEmacs recognize
a Darwin environment which I found at
http://www.stanford.edu/~parker42/xemacs.html
Thank you very much for your help!
Ciao,
    Eric
