Dear Emacs masters,
I have been experiencing repeated crashes on Emacs, and am wondering if the
following reports could lead someone to figure out what the problem might
be. These crashes occur after a few hours of normal use, almost always
during reading mail with vm. I am attaching an abbreviated backtrace when
running emacs under a debugger, and and the full one (8Mb) is available at
https://www.dropbox.com/s/3hg8v9ct2omc8x9/emacs-bt.txt. I am happy to try
helping with the debugging given specific instructions on commands to give
lldb.
I see this crash on both
GNU Emacs 24.3.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36)
of 2013-03-13 on bob.porkrind.org
Windowing system distributor `Apple', version 10.3.1265
and the most recent emacs mac version by YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu.
I wrote YAMAMOTO Mitsuharu, the Emacs for mac developer, and his response is

I am unable to follow this suggestion (cannot compile emacs on my Mac), but
perhaps it's useful to someone else.
