Is this reproducible?
I thought it was because I tried it in the morning on two different machines in two different locations within about 2 hours. However, it works fine everywhere now. Strange.
The error looks similar to bug 221281. In principle, that issue should be fixed in Emacs 22. However, I wouldn't completely exclude that some problems with brk randomisation remain. What is the output of the following command? cat /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space
cat /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space 2
Good news: I can reproduce the failure, dump fails in about 1% of the cases. I've reported this upstream, see there for details: <http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2008-09/msg00165.html>
Problem persists in Emacs 22.3 (under Linux 2.6.26-gentoo-r1).

(In reply to comment #9) > Got the error to on emeacs-22.3 For the moment, the workaround is to emerge it again, which in 98% of the cases will succeed. No reply from upstream so far, and the patch is of the kind that I would like to be approved by them before applying it locally.
Upstream have committed a bug fix to their CVS. (Simpler than my approach: they just set the personality and exec temacs unconditionally under Linux.) I've fixed it for emacs-18.59-r5, 21.4-r17 and 22.3; no revbumps since this was a build-time failure. Tested on Linux 2.6.26-gentoo-r1 (randomize_va_space = 2): I've built emacs-22.3 400 (four hundred!) times and emacs-18.59-r5 1000 times, without any failure. So I believe that the problem is solved.
