There are various reasons why this test isn't conclusive. One of the
main problems has to do with the environment present in the Emacs
session vs. your shell. I've seen segfaults in IDL based on
incorrectly set DISPLAY parameters, and other things. Launch emacs
from the shell with emacs -q to skip your .emacs init file, and see if
that changes anything.
