I use ;; Shortcut for saving desktop and saveplaces (global-set-key (kbd "S-") '( lambda () (interactive) (save-place-alist-to-file) (desktop-save desktop-dirname))) sometimes t save my "session". Today emacs showed me a message after that every time, "memory exhausted", and after two or three times he crashed repeatable. After some time i found out that my ".emacs-places" over the years had reached a size of nearly 50 MB. I deleted it, problem gone.
