I just tried it, and your intuition is right.  I tried to get more
information about where my crash is generated, so I started XEmacs
through my window manager, attached to the running version with gdb
and forced the crash.  Here is the result:

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x4020b2cc in status ()
(gdb) where
#0  0x4020b2cc in status ()
#1  0xbfffd600 in status ()
#2  0xd0000 in ?? ()
Cannot access memory at address 0x1000d.
(gdb) list
1748      report_pure_usage (1, 0);
1749      LONGJMP (run_temacs_catch, 1);
1750      return Qnil; /* not reached; warning suppression */
1751    }
1752
1753    /* ARGSUSED */
1754    DOESNT_RETURN
1755    main (int argc, char **argv, char **envp)
1756    {
1757      int     volatile vol_argc = argc;

Maybe that will help.
