Emacs-w32, version 24.3.1, has been crashing constantly, so much so I learnt how to use "recover-session." Most recently I finally forced myself to run gdb on its sadly expired body and listed the following stack: (gdb) bt #0 0x00007ff9174a9e3b in KERNELBASE!DebugBreak () from /cygdrive/c/WINDOWS/system32/KERNELBASE.dll #1 0x000000010056f32b in emacs_abort () at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/w32fns.c:7714 #2 0x0000000100500ac5 in set_internal (symbol=<optimized out>, newval=25771452141, where=<optimized out>, bindflag=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/data.c:1259 #3 0x000000010054750f in exec_byte_code (bytestr=6815056, vector=4302324285, maxdepth=5181184, args_template=4303920544, nargs=0, args=0x0) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/bytecode.c:827 #4 0x0000000100512343 in funcall_lambda (fun=4302324197, nargs=nargs@entry=1, arg_vector=arg_vector@entry=0x439808) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/eval.c:3010 #5 0x000000010051267b in Ffuncall (nargs=nargs@entry=2, args=args@entry=0x439800) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/eval.c:2839 #6 0x00000001005129dd in call1 (fn=<optimized out>, arg1=arg1@entry=25771452141) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/eval.c:2572 #7 0x00000001004a6b34 in timer_check_2 (idle_timers=<optimized out>, timers=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:4387 #8 timer_check () at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:4454 #9 0x00000001004a6f6a in readable_events (flags=1) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:3351 #10 0x00000001004a7e85 in get_input_pending (flags=flags@entry=1) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:6680 #11 0x00000001004aa2ad in detect_input_pending_run_timers ( do_display=do_display@entry=true) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:10273 #12 0x0000000100551406 in wait_reading_process_output ( time_limit=<optimized out>, nsecs=0, read_kbd=read_kbd@entry=-1, do_display=do_display@entry=true, wait_for_cell=4304630834, wait_proc=wait_proc@entry=0x0, just_wait_proc=just_wait_proc@entry=0) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/process.c:4743 #13 0x0000000100409f6a in sit_for (timeout=<optimized out>, reading=reading@entry=true, display_option=display_option@entry=1) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/dispnew.c:5978 #14 0x00000001004ac694 in read_char (commandflag=1, nmaps=2, maps=0x43a1c0, prev_event=4304630834, used_mouse_menu=0x43a2e7, end_time=end_time@entry=0x0) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:2669 #15 0x00000001004ad463 in read_key_sequence (keybuf=keybuf@entry=0x43a430, prompt=<optimized out>, dont_downcase_last=dont_downcase_last@entry=false, can_return_switch_frame=can_return_switch_frame@entry=true, fix_current_buffer=fix_current_buffer@entry=true, bufsize=30) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:9231 #16 0x00000001004af75e in command_loop_1 () at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:1459 #17 0x0000000100510cde in internal_condition_case ( bfun=bfun@entry=0x1004af540 <command_loop_1>, handlers=4304832354, hfun=hfun@entry=0x1004a58a0 <cmd_error>) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/eval.c:1289 #18 0x00000001004a09da in command_loop_2 (ignore=ignore@entry=4304630834) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:1168 #19 0x0000000100510b9f in internal_catch (tag=<optimized out>, func=func@entry=0x1004a09b0 <command_loop_2>, arg=4304630834) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/eval.c:1060 #20 0x00000001004a5374 in command_loop () at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:1147 #21 recursive_edit_1 () at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:779 #22 0x00000001004a56a7 in Frecursive_edit () at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/keyboard.c:843 #23 0x00000001005ab7d3 in main (argc=<optimized out>, argv=<optimized out>) at /usr/src/debug/emacs-24.3-7/src/emacs.c:1532
