I noticed also that another string_free_list crash, reported in April,
occurred in a system with hyperthreading as well:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnu-emacs/2005-04/msg00027.html

System: Suse Linux 9.1 on Pentium 4 with 2 GB RAM.
Suse kernel 2.6.5-7.145-smp #1 SMP.

I've asked Friedrich to check if the crashes go away with
hyperthreading turned off.  If so, this may be a Linux bug, or a GCC
bug.
