Unfortunately I can't reproduce this problem, with either Fedora 15 Emacs
or with the latest trunk (built with GCC 4.6.2, x86-64).  Which version of
Emacs and which platform are you using?  Can you send a GDB backtrace?
Assuming it's the trunk, it's helpful to compile without optimization
when getting a backtrace.
