  ... but I didn't get the following ...

I also tried compiling with the X stuff enabled; same error messages,but
the traceback showed a different path, to wit:

(dbx) where
kill() at 0x7ceb0
abort() at 0x80d4c
malloc(n = 5), line 515 in "malloc.c"
copystring() at 0x7995c
_XConnectDisplay() at 0x79a14
XOpenDisplay() at 0x703d8
x_term_init(), line 1534 in "x11term.c"
init_display(), line 1411 in "dispnew.c"
main(argc = 1, argv = 0xf7fffb4c, envp = 0xf7fffb54), line 357 in "emacs.c"

System info:
  o  Sun SparcStation 1+
  o  Sun OS 4.1
  o  X Version 11 Release 4 Patchlevel 14, generic
  o  window manager twm
  o  C compiler is "cc"

Options set in src/config.h are:
#include "s-sunos4.h"
#include "m-sparc.h"
#define HAVE_X_WINDOWS
#define X11
#define HAVE_X_MENU


So, Mike is not alone.  Any ideas?
