I've  done this  now, and  it seems  to be  a problem  in  the threads
library: 

(gdb) run
Starting program: /tmp/venus 
Coda Venus, version 5.3.5

Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x101d3c78 in savecontext ()
(gdb) bt

#5  0xcbe90 in VprocInit () at vproc.cc:94
#6  0x8cd60 in main (argc=1, argv=0xeffff964) at venus.cc:164

Maybe not so  coincidentally, this routine is in the  same file that I
couldn't  get  to  compile in  the  coda  version  4 mlwp  library  --
process.ss, only now it's in a separate package...

hrmmm...
