Hi Dominik,
the output of gdb is attached. fvwm crashes regardless whether a
local .fvwm2rc is present or not. I hope you can make use of this
information.
I can do further debugging if I you can provide instructions or
variable to look at.

I don't know what's happening. The action variable is screwed,
but I don't see in the code how this can happen.
If you know how to use gdb, could you debug this problem? It's a
bit tricky to debug a window manager. One way is this:
* Modify your ~/.xinitrc and replace the call to fvwm with
sleep 1.
* Start the X server. It should hang in the sleep with an empty
desktop.
* Switch back to the text console.
* Run gdb with
$ gdb fvwm
* Put a breakpoint in the function SetRCDefaults (the one from #5
above).
* Run fvwm with the command from your .xinitrc or just fvwm:
(gdb) run fvwm options
* Single step through the code from gdb and watch the action
variable. When/why does it get the bogus value?
(If you prefer a graphical debugger, you can start a second X
server and start fvwm on that on with fvwm -d display).
