Yes. I was wrong about your environment (see above). But really, I can honestly say I have _never_ seen Emacs crash. A few times it went into an infinite spin because a package did something dirty, mostly involving an external process. But crash, never. So you may in fact want emacs --daemon. On my server type machines where this is applicable, I do it with a personal crontab entry marked @boot. -- Please *no* private copies of mailing list or newsgroup messages.
