Recent CVS has been crashing.

Recent CVS has been crashing.

[Steven T. Hatton]

I wish I had more information to provide.  Unfortunately this has been 
infrequent enough that I haven't been prepared to capture any crash dumps.  
(the xterm I launched from has been closed.) I can't connect the crashes with 
any particular action.  The only common variable is that I've been in C++ 
mode using a recent CVS build of CEDET.  I'm running on SuSE 9.1, intel P4, 
with up to date patches. I often use speedbar and eshell as well.  The may or 
may not have been active. (eshell has (recently had) some other (rather 
nasty) issues that appear when copying content to other X apps.)

What happens is that emacs simply vanishes from the display (and the process 
list) without any prior evidence of a problem.  This happens after hours of 
use.

If I can reproduce the problem, or get a crash dump, I will file a proper bug 
report.

Crash dumps are often unusable.
A more reliable approach is to just systematically run your Emacs from gdb.
