   Start up formsvbt. 
   Wait a few seconds. 
   If it doesn't crash, exit it. 
 
 
It happens at least half the time.
On PPC_DARWIN and SOL..not sure it was SOLgnu or SOLsun.
Did not repro on..I think..LINUXLIBC6, FreeBSD/x86..not sure what all I tried.
It seems to somehow be specific to only some platforms.
 
 
5.4.0 release had bigger problems here that I forget (on SOLgnu or SOLsun).
 
 
I only test out X stuff remotely (and don't use X otherwise, what a mess..), though I doubt that matters.
I added an assert(foo # NIL) right where the crash is, so now the crash is that assertion failing.
