Please describe the crash in more detail.  What were you doing when it 
happened?  Did the window just disappear, or did you get a dialogue box 
asking if you want to attach a debugger?  Did you get any messages in 
the terminal that emacs was started from?  Is there a stackdump file?

Can you still get a crash if you start emacs with the -Q option?  I 
realize that it might take several days before you know the answer.

Can you run emacs under gdb and try to get a backtrace when it crashes? 
  You'll have to install the emacs-debuginfo package.  And you may have 
to experiment with breakpoints, but I would start by setting one at 
emacs_abort.

Ken
