emacs is killing me

[jeconopouly]

Sometimes, infrequently (like 1 in 300), when I click the "Buffers"
button emacs crashes my whole computer!
It blue screens me!  I'm running the precompiled emacs 21.2 for windows,
on windows NT 4.0, and I have
a bunch of modules installed like JDE.  I have occasional other less
severe problems with the "Buffers" button
- like it will sometimes (1 in 10) come up all garbled, with rectangular
blocks or klingon style characters instead
of the normal text.  Everything else apears to work fine all the time.

Is this a known problem?  I can't function without emacs... but today
I've blue screened twice.  I'm forced to work
on this crappy windows NT, does anyone have any ideas?
thanks

Unfortunately it is hard to debug a problem from a report that it
happens occasionally.  If someone finds a way to reproduce it,
that might enable some Windows user to debug this.

You can switch to a free operating system if you want.
It just depends on how important freedom is to you.
If you are like most Americans, you don't really care
much about freedom and won't make a large effort to gain freedom.
Then you might tell yuourself that you are "forced" to use Windows.
