[AUCTeX] 11.84 and emacs 22.09x issues on win box

[Nathaniel Beck]

Hi

One issue has arisen with my move to 11.84, 
another has been around ever since i moved to 
emacs 22.09x. Both are on xp boxes using the 
precompiled binaries from the auctex site.
1. After installing 11.84, I made a new .emacs to 
change the behavior of the command menu so at to 
eliminate commands i never use and add acrobat 
viewing as a command. All works fine, except that 
acrobat opens but complains it cannot find the 
specified file.
.emacs (new constructed, but syntax copied from 
older .emacs) is attached, all works fine except 
for acrobat not being able to find %s.pdf.
2. The persisting problem is that emacs crashes on 
me quite predictably. It is always in the 
following situation: I have used my external spell 
 checker (called from emacs edit menu), but on 
returning have tried to latex without saving 
first. emacs asks me if I want to save, I say yes, 
it saves and then starts to compile, but 3 or 4 
seconds into compilation, emacs crashes with the 
windows "sorry, had to shutdown this program" 
message. If I manually save the file first with 
cntrl-s, all works fine. The crash without saving 
occurs about half the time. Has anyone else seen 
this or have any idea about a fix.
Thanks for any help, and thanks to all for auctex!
