Please try the 24.3 pretest (aka 24.2.93), which you can find at
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/

I have no reason it won't crash, but at least we can try and track the
bug down in that release and try and get it fixed for 24.3.

For actual crashes, the most important thing is to run Emacs under
a debugger, so that when it crashes you can show us a backtrace.
Also it's important to use an Emacs that was compiled without
optimizations (-O0 or at worst -O1) so that the debugger has a maximum
of information.
