Send email to bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org, the email gateway into the news
group, and you will have a better chance.

Please run Emacs under a debugger, put a breakpoint in the library
functions `exit' and `_exit', and type "C-x 1".  If this hits one of
the breakpoints, please type "bt" and post here what did it print.
If the breakpoints are not hit, please tell what did the debugger say
when Emacs ``vansihed''.

I don't know what causes this, but please don't ``go away''.  I think
we should investigate this.
