In GNU Emacs 18.55.1 of Fri Oct 26 1990 on beast (berkeley-unix)

On both sun sparcstations and decstations, emacs periodically and
unpredictably dies leaving a core file, examination of which reveals
the process got a segmentation violation, and it always seems to be in
some routine in alloc.c.

I know this isn't a terrifically great bug report, but I am hoping this
is a known bug which you might have a patch for. 

 --thanks,
