Well, the crashing problem in emacs-w32 is greatly improved,
yet, the program still crashed on me yesterday, after a good
few days of seamless performance. The emacs-version function
returns:
(emacs-version)
"GNU Emacs 24.3.90.1 (x86_64-unknown-cygwin)
of 2014-05-03 on Fiona"
Please describe the crash in more detail. What were you doing when it
happened? Did the window just disappear, or did you get a dialogue box
asking if you want to attach a debugger? Did you get any messages in
the terminal that emacs was started from? Is there a stackdump file?
Can you still get a crash if you start emacs with the -Q option? I
realize that it might take several days before you know the answer.
Can you run emacs under gdb and try to get a backtrace when it crashes?
You'll have to install the emacs-debuginfo package. And you may have
to experiment with breakpoints, but I would start by setting one at
emacs_abort.
