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

This is emacs 23.1 on Windows XP.
May be the GC is not efficient enough. Sometimes it keeps trying to recollect
the memory, and makes Emacs seems dead (no response to keyboard and mouse
click). It will become normal after a long time waiting.

Best regards.

If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger,
please include the output from the following gdb commands:
    `bt full' and `xbacktrace'.
If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file
d:/gnu/etc/DEBUG for instructions.

Is it possible that you have too little memory and Emacs is swapping?

This seems difficult to debug, then, so I'm closing the report.
