Help debugging an Emacs crash |

I am experiencing emacs segmentation faults under X. They occur at
random times, but always at the moment I press a key. What is the
best way to debug this kind of problem? I would be happy to enable
debugging in some way, and send you any useful information.
The crashes occur only within Kyle Jones's Emacs mail reader package "VM".
However, VM should not be able to crash emacs, so there must be an
underlying emacs or X bug.
The crashes never occur if I've run "emacs -nw" in an xterm. Only
after running "emacs &" to open an Emacs X window.
Symptoms: Use VM for a while. At some point when I press a key, the X
window closes and emacs crashes with a segmentation fault error. No
core dump.
System: Suse Linux 9.1 on Pentium 4 with 2 GB RAM.
Suse kernel 2.6.5-7.145-smp #1 SMP.
emacs-version: GNU Emacs 21.3.1 (i586-suse-linux, X toolkit, Xaw3d
scroll bars) of 2004-04-05 on gray
