It looks like the crash is when Emacs tries to create the initial
frame.  Can you verify this with "xbacktrace"?

Hmm, there are a few entries in etc/PROBLEMS that cite similar
problems on several Solaris versions, but I'm not sure if any one of
them is pertinent to your problem.  Please tell more about the build:
the precise way in which you invoked the configure script, which
toolkit was used, which version of what compiler was used, etc.  Also,
if you can, try to build with a different toolkit.
