This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!

translators to read other languages for them.

Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Every once in a while, Emacs seems to go away on me while I am in M-x
customize.  When this happens, there is no core dump or funny error
messages, Emacs is just gone.  Thus far, I have no other info on the
problem, but I thought others might like to know.

Don't pay attention to recent info below.

    Every once in a while, Emacs seems to go away on me while I am in M-x
    customize.  When this happens, there is no core dump or funny error
    messages, Emacs is just gone.  Thus far, I have no other info on the
    problem, but I thought others might like to know.

Can you run Emacs under GDB with a breakpoint at _exit all the time to
see why it is exiting?
