usually do not have translators to read other languages for them.

I've just built emacs 23.1.95 on two Mac OS X systems; one Mac OS
10.6.2 (x86_64), and one Mac OS 10.4.11 (PPC G5). On both systems
"emacs -nw" segfaults on startup. The segfault happens so early that
I cannot use M-x report-emacs-bug on the affected systems.
When I run emacs as a windowed application (without "-nw"), then there
is no segfault.
Emacs was configured as "./configure --with-ns".
I've looked through the emacs-devel archive, and found one thread that
discusses a similar crash:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2010-04/msg00075.html
In my case, the crash happens in a different place (ns_set_doc_edited,
as opposed to alloc.c).
Here is a gdb session + backtrace taken Mac OS X 10.6.2. The gdb
session shows emacs being started with "-nw -Q". The presence (or
absense) of "-Q" doesn't seem to change the segfault behavior.
