Not a solution, but a tentative explanation: since Emacs
doesn't really crash (does it?). I have observed this to
hapen quite frequently when editting over ssh sessions
tunneled through a firewall. Maximum inactivity period
passes, link falls down and there you have it.

Might suggest a way to solve things (use tramp or keep
your local tree locally or what not).
