It appears that xorg 7.5.2 causes emacs to segfault. The workaround is to
set emacs.synchronous: on in .Xresources.
Another data point. I copied my $LOCALBASE from my old laptop (i915) to my
new laptop (intel hd3000), in a jail (won't bore you why). Running emacs in
the jail and displaying to the new X server resulted in no segfault,
suggesting that this may be library related. Furthermore running emacs
under truss, without synchronous also works (probably because truss
inadvertently causes calls to X to be synchronous.
If anyone is having problems with emacs under 7.5.2, the workaround should
do it until a better solution is found.
