In GNU Emacs 19.24.1 of Thu Aug 11 1994 on idt33 (sparc-sun-sunos4.1)

When EMACSLOADPATH is set to something that does not include the
distributed lisp files, emacs will dump core.  If EMACSLOADPATH is not
set at all, or set properly, the problem doesn't occur.  Eg.

 tcsh> % setenv EMACSLOADPATH ""
 tcsh> % emacs -q
 tcsh> Cannot open load file: term/x-win
 tcsh> Fatal error (11).X windows are not in use or not initialized
 tcsh> Segmentation fault (core dumped)


BTW, this was my configure line:
 ./configure  sparc-sun-sunos4.1 --run-in-place --with-x-toolkit --prefix=/ms/group/fx/gnu
