The good news: I haven't seen a repeat of that old crash so far.
Unfortunately, I'm finding that emacs is unstable: The emacs window
(running under X) simply disappears after 12-24 hours. This may not
have anything to do with the most recent changes. I haven't yet tested
any earlier snapshots.
Testing this is a very slow process, since I don't know how to produce
the problem; I just have to wait and see if emacs will die.
I tried to get some information by running emacs under gdb the most
recent time I started it, but all I got was this:
(gdb) c
Continuing.
[Inferior 1 (process 8196) exited with code 05400]
(gdb) bt
No stack
Does that exit code mean anything to you? I couldn't find anything by
googling.
