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

Hello,

I use Emacs with Org mode a lot. And it's been segcrashing a lot recently.
It segfaults in a number of different ways. Seems non-deterministic to me.
(i.e. The same action upon startup can cause it to segfault or not segault,
seemingly at random.)

What information do you need to help with this? Is there some command I can
run that will produce the output you need to understand why it's
segfaulting?

I am running GNU Emacs 24.4.50.1 on Mac OS X.

Thanks,

Noah

That's an old version of the development trunk, please upgrade to the
latest trunk and see if the problem still exists.

If it does exist on the latest trunk, please report the details using
"M-x report-emacs-bug RET".

For crashes, it is best to run Emacs under GDB, and when it crashes,
type "thread apply all bt full" from the GDB prompt; then post the
results.

Thanks.

Hi.

Start Emacs in gdb and take a stacktrace when it crashes.

Okay, I have upgraded. I'll report back if I see any more crashes. Thanks!

Since no more reports were sent, I'm assuming this is fixed.
