Very sorry for the delay in responding.
Unfortunately, the stack trace you sent is not very informative. If you
are still experiencing the problem, try running Emacs in a debugger and
getting a backtrace when the crash happens. Depending on the backtrace,
we may be able to diagnose the problem. However, we're not planning to
make any more 22.x releases. We've fixed quite a lot of crash-related
bugs between emacs 22 and 23, so if you are experiencing stability
issues, you could try upgrading.
