6 months ago, Emacs.app didn't show this problem. Suddenly I had 
problems
to compile (problems with native Objc exceptions) and I leave this for 
a time.
Now it compiles OK, but crash. I'm using GNUstep from SVN (we are near 
to a
release). So I don't know if something has changed in emacs, or if is 
a problem
in gnustep. Tomorrow I will make an unoptimized build to send the bug 
report.
Thanks.
