Here's a wild guess:
It could be the Alpha Linux equivalent of what happens on
i386 Linux when you have the wrong xforms library installed.
If you are running glibc-2.1.x there is a very good chance you need to get
a copy of the xforms library called: xforms-0.88-glibc2 or something like
that.
The crash appears to be occurring in the same place that a similar crash
does on other architectures. So I'd be trying to get the right xforms
library.
