CVS emacs cores now and then on Solaris

[Klaus Zeitler]

Symptoms:

emacs crashes occasionally. I haven't figured out the reason yet. A few times
it happened after I hammered (annoyed by my sluggish workstation) a few
C-g into emacs.
The backtrace is short for a change :-):

(gdb) bt
#0  0xfec1f930 in _libc_kill () from /usr/lib/libc.so.1
#1  0x000e54c0 in fatal_error_signal (sig=11) at 
/vol/freeware/cvs/emacs/head/emacs/src/emacs.c:384
#2  <signal handler called>

Does anybody have an idea of what's happening? Or can anybody give me a few
hints how to investigate this?
