Hi, perhaps this (cropped) trace helps: https://gist.github.com/2644938 (bt -100 after gdb -p 42) I'm not very experienced with gdb and my Emacs has no symbol table for debugging (bt full -100 is complaining). Any help on how to get the symbol table would be great, then I could possibly provide more helpful info. I haven't encountered crashes so far, but after using Emacs for a day or so, it often goes on short trips to GC nirvana for several seconds. My version: GNU Emacs 24.1.50.2 (i386-apple-darwin11.3.0, NS apple-appkit-1138.32) of 2012-05-04 on ryo.localdomain.de Cheers, Felix On Tue, 08 May 2012 10:40:03 +0800, Chong Yidong wrote: > merlyn@stonehenge.com (Randal L.
