Unfortunately, the stack trace you sent is not very informative. If you are still experiencing the problem, try running Emacs in a debugger and getting a backtrace when the crash happens. Depending on the backtrace, we may be able to diagnose the problem. However, we're not planning to make any more 22.x releases. We've fixed quite a lot of crash-related bugs between emacs 22 and 23, so if you are experiencing stability issues, you could try upgrading.
