We have two Pyramids, one runing Osx 2.5, one running Osx 3.0. I had the same experience on the 2.5 system but not on the 3.0 system. Examining the core dump, I found that the global Qnil (nil) did not point to the same place in all modules! Meaning: nil was not always nil! Unfortunately, a 3.0 binary won't run on a 2.5 system, so I couldnt just bring either the other compiler, or the other emacs binary over. Anyway, I submitted this problem to pyramid last week as SR# 8494, which became their internal SPR# 1923. Today, I got a message from Pyramid Corporate headquarters, saying that they are sending me down a tape of their "latest and greatest" C compiler, version 3.1.7, which they say fixes the problem. After I recieve it, I'll post the results. If you have this problem, you might wish to ask for this compiler version, referencing the above SR and SPR numbers.

From the very latest copy of emacs/etc/MACHINES (on prep.ai.mit.edu): Pyramid (m-pyramid.h; s-bsd4.2.h) In Pyramid system 2.5 there has beena compiler bug making Emacs crash just after screen-splitting with Qnil containing 0. A compiler that fixes this is Pyramid customer number 8494, internal number 1923. Some versions of the pyramid compiler get fatal errors when the -gx compiler switch is used; if this happens to you, change src/ymakefile to remove that switch.
