! It is a good idea to run Emacs under GDB (or some other suitable
  debugger) *all the time*.  Then, when Emacs crashes, you will be able
  to debug the live process, not just a core dump.  (This is especially
  important on systems which don't support core files, and instead print
  just the registers and some stack addresses.)
  
! If Emacs hangs, or seems to be stuck in some infinite loop, typing
  "kill -TSTP PID", where PID is the Emacs process ID, will cause GDB to
  kick in, provided that you run under GDB.

! various "user-defined" commands for debugging Emacs.
