Use a b-tree like approach: Start with half your settings; it the bug
doesn't accur, use the other half; proceed this way until you will find
the offending setting.  Okay, things getting interesting when a
combination of settings causes the bug.

This could mean two things:

    . Emacs lacks essential features--please, report those as usability
    bugs.

    . Updating Emacs you forgot to trim down your .emacs ;-)

Hope this helps.
