I'm not exactly sure what is making Emacs crash, but I have noticed that running emacs from
the command line (/Applications/Emacs.app/Contents/MacOS/Emacs-x86_64-10_9) never fails and instantly starts Emacs.

Maybe it has something to do with the ruby startup script which is included in emacsformacosx and the way yosemite reports system version (gestalt something or other, which it does not do correctly btw as per console).

Until this is fixed I'm starting Emacs from cli.
