So, I think that the crashes are under control (for me, anyway) but...
Seems now that occassionally, I have a blank gutter. Still has
active tabs, but I can't see them. I can do stuff and they'll come
back but as I sweep my mouse across the various xemacs frames I have,
the gutter will go black (which is my default background).
Just when I was getting used to using the tabs, too.
