With CVS of 2005-05-31, I still get occasional dumps (once/twice a
week), and they usually seem to be when I'm going to get new mail
using VM 7.17. I am now running emacs under gdb again so the next
time I get an error, I can send a backtrace to whoever wants to see
it! But am I the only one who sees them nowadays?
M-x emacs-version
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.0.6) of
2005-05-31 on notch.amtp.cam.ac.uk
