Narrative:

Location: taxiway wm at runway 18L. After landing we were holding short of runway 18L at taxiway wm when a B727 was given position and hold with traffic crossing downfield. We then received and read back our crossing clearance. As we entered the runway, I looked up field and noticed the landing lights on and a smoke plume from the B727 engines powering up. I expedited the crossing as we were already out on the runway. The controller said stop but no call sign was given. She then told the B727 to abort the takeoff. In later discussion with the tower supervisor, he said we had followed our clearance and the problem was between the tower and the B727.
