   We are using GNU emacs 18.55 on a DECstation 3100, Ultrix 3.1 rev.
   14.  and have had the problem of EMACS occasionally fail to start
   up.  The error messages are generally "Segmentation fault" or
   "emacs: bad address".

I've never seen this problem on our machines which sound to be
configured very similarly.  Trying compiling without optimization,
compiling with gcc... are you running X11?  We are so our emacs may
never have been started other than as an X11 client.
