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

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...
