I do plan to try to build xterm from the source on Solaris and then moving that to NetBSD to see if I can get an more valuable information from that.

It is curious that file failed -- but perhaps not so odd that other tools which might try to do networking operations have crashed (who might be trying to do DNS lookups). Perhaps the crash is happening in a shared library, e.g. libc. Solaris has a number of special processes that may have to be running to do various network operations, especially name lookups (though crashes when they are not running is odd)

Thank you for your response! I've confirmed that the /etc/netconfig file on my Solaris VM matches /emul/svr4/etc/netconfig. Further, smaller Solaris binaries, such as ls, echo, true, false all function as they should. I also attempted other Solaris binaries, such as file, and who, and those generated segmentation violations too. Running ktrace on those revealed extremely similar output to the output that I included in the OP, so I suspect the issue is at a lower-level.
