emacs 20.7 crashes sometimes under HP-UX 10.20

[Klaus Zeitler]

Hi,

every once in a while emacs crashes when I try to use one of the menus
(fortunately I don't use them very often). This happens as soon as I click on
the menu bar on one of the menu titles.
Besides I also noticed that often I have to click 2 or 3 times on one of the
menus to open it.

When I tried to analyze the core with gdb-5.0 this resulted in another crash:

does anybody have an idea what's going on?
and can anybody tell me what the 2 gdb warnings above mean

appreciate your help
