AS-1.4.5.55N and crashing

RH 4.2 (libc5/glibc1 amalgum); XFree86-*-3.3.1-1;
Accelerated-X 4.1; AfterStep-1.4.5.55N; xfstt-0.9.8.
Begining with AS-1.4.5.4 I began to experience some crashes with and
withou core dumps. I moved onto AS-1.4.5.55N without having tracked down
the reason for the crashes. Now I have the gdb output so that hopefully
someone can help:
$ gdb `which afterstep` ./AS-core.dump2
Core was generated by `afterstep'.
Program terminated with signal 11, Segmentation fault.

I am really pushing the envelope here with some rather large xpms in the
menus, both MenuPixmap and MenuHiPixmap are the same 769777k file -
really, everything has a pixmap. :) [A screen dump can been seen on my
site - www.the-site.dyn.ml.org/misc/recent.jpg] The menu and titles are
using ttf fonts which (currently) must be set manually by "xset fp+". I'm
also using the patched wharf with FullSwallow along with wmppp, wmmon and
wmcdplay applets - these might also be the culprit.
Upon starting with startx, sometimes it takes three tries before
AS starts, and while in AS, if I change a wharf pixmap or anything else
that requires a "Restart" (not a Quit/Restart mind you), AS crashes. :(
Sometimes I see XShapeMask errors and/or invalid pixmap errors prior to
the crash, and the crash always follows after the Pager starts and before
the applets get moved into the wharf, i.e. wharf has yet to appear.
It's really annoying if I am playing with the look of things,
having to start AS several times before it "takes".
Any ideas will be greatly appreciated!!
TIA
