Can you reproduce the crash with this two line .xinirc:

  xterm -geometry 92x50+1550+60 -e /usr/bin/pine &
  /usr/bin/fvwm -cmd 'AddToFunc StartFunction I FvwmPager'

I can't with fvwm-2.5.3-1 rpm.

Do you get "core" file? It is not very useful, since the binary has
debug information stripped, but at least you may check which program
crashed using gdb (or maybe not crashed, just exited).

Silly question, don't you have by a chance this binding somewhere:

  Key Q R A Quit

Mikhael.
