After ten days of running under gdb control, I haven't had a single
crash.  This looks like the programmer's nightmare: the bug that
disappears when using a debugger.

I will switch back to running without gdb to see if that's really the
difference. I did install an Apple security update a day after starting
to run Emacs under gdb, so I want to be sure what's the cause.

Konrad.
