I've been having this problem as well. It's very intermittent, but definitely associated with switching workspaces---emacs only freezes if I switch to another workspace, then switch back. I'm using GNOME/metacity and emacs21 package version 21.4a-6ubuntu2. strace looks exactly like the previously reported. Here's the gdb output:
(no debugging symbols found) 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () (gdb) bt #0 0xffffe410 in __kernel_vsyscall () #1 0xb7bf5d1e in pthread_exit () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #2 0x08125030 in re_search () #3 0xb7b847f5 in malloc () from /lib/tls/i686/cmov/libc.so.6 #4 0xb7cc1dc9 in _XRegisterFilterByType () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 #5 0xb7995fe7 in _XimLocalCreateIC () from /usr/lib/X11/locale/common/ximcp.so.2 #6 0xb7cda34c in XSetICFocus () from /usr/lib/libX11.so.6 #7 0x080c246f in ??
