Mark Hahn wrote me and convinced me that the problem I described is a
hardware problem, probably related to heat.

Testing bears this out.

I am still mystified as to why xemacs in particular should stress the
system more than everything else, but I've got the sanity check I was
looking for, and will treat it as a hardware problem from here on
out.
