If you say (emacs) or emacs & or run emacs from /bin/sh you're all
set.  I think because then you get forked, and not vforked.

We get the segmentation fault when trying to run emacs all the time,
but no core file.  Our fix is to have people invoke it one of the ways
indicated above.

We also have the creeping load average till the system hangs at least
once a day on at least one of our machines.
