Yes. I've even rebuild emacs 23.2 with gcc 4.4.2 -g -O2 for good
measure, and the crash is just the same.

Unfortunately yes: it usually takes a couple of hours to occur, and I
haven't yet found what triggers it.

I fear it's the only way. With the current state of affairs, I cannot
give emacs 23.2 to hour users: an editor that crashes regularly is
unacceptable.
Before going that route, I may try to investigate the core dumps a
little bit more, perhaps I find something. Unfortunately, even with the
gcc build, gdb cannot make sense of them and doesn't even produce a
backtrace.

Sure, although this will probably take weeks, given the amount of
change between 23.1 and 23.2.

I didn't even know that existed: last time I looked the cvs mirror was
gone due to unreliablity, so I had to build/learn bzr to checkout the
current version.
I'll give it a try.
Thanks.
