The same core dump happens on my environment,
    FreeBSD 5.1R
    XFree86 4.3.0
    Emacs 21.3

So I would try debugging, re-configure XFree86 with  
   #define  DebugLibXt YES
on host.def, and linking debug-enabled libXt (libXt_d.a) to emacs.

And, then, the core dump does not happen any more !
I don't know why. 
It seems that static binary emacs doesn't crash at this point.

To make emacs statically,

$ CC="gcc -static" ./configure your-system-type ...

plus I needed CFLAGS="-DNO_ABORT" to avoid compile error.
