Hi,

Thanks for the rapid response!

Actually, I cannot reproduce the error again. Between last friday and 
yesterday, the emacs crash happened about 4 or 5 times, always during a 
ediff-directories session.
However, I cannot  reproduce in a controlled way the conditions that 
lead to the crash, so I cannot send you any backtrace, or reproducible 
crash recipe :(
If I find a way to do it, I'll come back to you.

Cheers,
Sebastian
