I might be wrong but...
The lisp backtrace comes out on stdout/stderr of whereever you started
XEmacs from (along with a whole lot of other output about your files
being saved and to whom to complain). Since I started XEmacs from a
terminal window (which I leave around for these occassions) I had that
info handy. If you start your XEmacs from a menu supplied by your
windowing system, then the stdout goes either into the bit bucket or
to a file specifically designated to log this kind of output (depends
on your window system).
Incidentally, suppressing new frame creation has allowed me to work a
whole afternoon without a crash. Whoohoo!
