I can't reproduce it with Emacs 22.3 Carbon on Mac OS X 10.5.5, either.

For further debugging, the following information would be helpful.

1. A crash log in ~/Library/CrashReporter/ if available.
2. A concrete procedure to reproduce the crash starting with
   ".../Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs -Q" from the command line.
3. Whether it is reproducible with Emacs 22.3 Carbon, preferably with
   no modifications unlike Carbon Emacs Package or Aquamacs Emacs.
