Run emacs -Q to get a pure, minimal emacs.=20 If that crashes, then it is indeed an issue restricted to emacs. (And se= e point 2.) You probably still want your customizations, so 2. Run emacs under a debugger.=20 When there's a crash grab whatever stack information you can.=20 In gdb(1GNU) the magic incantation is `thread apply all bt'. Your debugger may be different. 3. (setq debug-on-error t) will show you certain extreme errors in your non= -optimized .emacs. They may not be the immediate source of the crash,=20 but fixing them will eliminate distracting failures.
