Emacs (21.2) crash for me, if not every day, then at least every week. Although I don't know how to confirm it, I think the reason is the missing GCPRO in directory-files and directory-files-and-attributes, a bug that has been corrected now. It may not be a showstopper, but it would be nice with a released Emacs without this bug.
