Subject: unpredictable emacs 21 crashes

Message-ID: <xkk7p6kap2.fsf@maxwell.astro.utoronto.ca> (raw)


Hi,

Since upgrading to emacs 21 a few months ago it hasn't stayed up for more than
a day or two on average.  I've been watching for a pattern without seeing any,
and I'm not sure but I think sometimes it even crashes in the middle of the
night when I'm not there.

TIA for any help.
