My apologies if this appeared to be a criticism of the developers. 
What I meant was that if the OP's only reason for wishing to maintain
two Emacs' up is because of one version crashing, then their best course
of action would be to spend effort working out why it was crashing 
rather than how to run two at once. 

It's clearly true that the developers can't fix something that they
don't know about or can't reproduce.

Again, you are right. I didn't mean to complicate things which should 
be left simple.
