Re: The emacs_backtrace "feature"

[Richard Stallman]

    Core dumps are better than backtraces if they're available, but
    modern GNUish distributions often disable them, alas, and they're
    a pain to send via email, and it's nice to have a bit more info
    than 'Fatal error 27' when Emacs crashes.

If you get a core dump, you can run GDB and make a backtrace
and mail that.
