XtInitializeWidgetClass (where it crashed), fills in the widget class 
structure.  I guess something in the widget description is wrong, such as 
saying sizeof(int), where sizeof(double) is intended, or OffsetOf points to 
the wrong member.  If you have local changes, there is a good place to start 
looking.

This is hard to see without a debug compiled Xt.  Doesn't Debian have separate 
debug-infos that you can install for Xt?
