Subject: 24.2; OS X crashes when closing emacs with /sudo:: buffers.
Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2013 18:01:14 -0500

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

When running emacs in OS X using the -nw flag, if I open a few buffers
with sudo privs using C-x C-f /sudo::/path/to/file (Tramp), when I close
emacs later in the day, it crashes the whole OS and my computer restarts.

If the OS crashes, it means there's a bug in the OS, not in Emacs.
Of course, it might be triggered by a bug in Emacs, but we can't really
investigate it when the OS crashes from under us.
