Core dumps are better than backtraces if they're available, but
modern GNUish distributions often disable them, alas, and they're
a pain to send via email, and it's nice to have a bit more info
than 'Fatal error 27' when Emacs crashes.
If you get a core dump, you can run GDB and make a backtrace
and mail that.
