Does SUSE provide a debug package for Emacs, or can you build Emacs yourself?
If the latter, please fetch the 24.3 (note not 24.2) sources, configure
emacs using

CFLAGS="-O0 -g3" ./configure [...]
make

cd src
# You may need to modify "auto-load safe-path" in ~/.gdbinit - see
# etc/DEBUG in the Emacs sources.
gdb ./emacs
run

and if/when it crashes, send the result of "bt full" here.

Without a backtrace, or reproducible crash recipe, nothing can be done.

Thanks.
