My suggestion is to run the failing temacs command line under GDB and
see where it crashes.

The best way to communicate this information is to file a bug report,
using "M-x report-emacs-bug RET" (in some version of Emacs you have
that is operable; if not, just email the details to
bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org).
