Yes, but which buffer?  When Emacs crashes, there could be several
buffers in the session, each one with its own default-directory.

Lars suggested to say EMACSHOME, which is simply incorrect.

Would it be okay to say that the file gets written in the directory
where Emacs was started?  The only problem with that is that people
may not know where that is...
