 This looks similar to crashes I've reported to the emacs-devel mailing
 list for Emacs 22.  The crashes go away if onee rebuilds WITHOUT_GTK for
 me on FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT.  Can you try building the port without a GTK+
 interface and see if the crash persists?  If not, we have to collect
 enough information for the upstream Emacs development team, to be able
 to fix this either with a local FreeBSD-specific patch or by fixing the
 Emacs 22.X source tree itself in the Emacs CVS repository.
