Next time when this happens, instead of killing Emacs, attach GDB to it and show us the backtrace you get in all threads. > _Sometimes_, though, I have an Emacs abort dialog, something like: > > I had such a crash this morning, then applied the above recipe.

If you don't have the .gdbinit file to go with the binary you use, you should be able to find it in the src directory of the corresponding source tarball; then type "source .gdbinit" from the GDB prompt, when you enter GDB, or just put .gdbinit in the directory where you start GDB. The xbacktrace command is defined on .gdbinit. TIA
