I have recently updated to emacs 23.1.1 from emacs 21.3 and I'm finding it
keeps crashing.
I am running under Window XP. I have the emacs binaries on a network drive
and I suspect it crashes if there is a problem talking to the network
drive.
The easiest way to get it to crash is to hibernate the PC with emacs
running. When I restore from hibernate emacs crashes.
I had been running 21.3 like this for some years without a problem. So
this is something new to 23. I seem to remember a similar problem many
years ago which was fixed by changing a compile flag.

Could you run Emacs in a debugger and obtain a backtrace for the crash?

I can't do anything until next week, but even then I'm not sure
how easy it will be. As I said, the way I provoke it is to hibernate
the PC with emacs running. When I restore from hibernation, emacs just
"disappears". There is no "crash" message.
It has been suggested and it sounds familiar from when this happened
before, it is to do with a link flag that tells Windows to load the
whole binary rather than relying on the original file when swapping.
I suspect if it is running inside s debugger, the debugger will be
handling the way the binary is swapped out.

Are you still seeing this behaviour with a current Emacs?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a few
months, so I'm closing this bug report. If the problem still exists,
please reopen this bug report.
