I'm puzzled by the fact that "xset r rate 500 30" gives me a
memory-fault (with core dump), but at the same time, if I start the X
server with "-ar1 500 -ar2 30" everything works as expected.

Does this ring a bell with anybody?  Anybody know a solution, a
workaround, or where to look?

This is on a NetBSD 1.5.3_ALPHA/i386 with XFree86 Version 4.0.99.3, and a
"set -q" as follows:

Keyboard Control:
  auto repeat:  on    key click percent:  0    LED mask:  00000000
  auto repeat delay:  500    repeat rate:  30
  auto repeating keys:  00ffffffdffffbbf
                        fa9fffffffdffdff
                        ffffffffffffffff
                        ffffffffffffffff
  bell percent:  50    bell pitch:  400    bell duration:  100

[...]

TIA for all pointers,

"Life," said Marvin dolefully, "loathe it or ignore it, you can't like it."

I don't know how the hell that happened.  Sorry folks.

(FWIW, upgrading to XFree86 4.1.0 fixed the problem.)
