Emacs only crashes if the size of the undo info is big enough to cause memory overflow. So the fact that if you answer no, Emacs sometimes crashes and sometimes not is to be expected. Also, if you leave Emacs running while the question is being asked and leave your computer without answering the question for a relatively long time, memory leakage will occur. > What is this "Desktop undo buffer" by the way? I do not use desktop. But my impression is that desktop should disable undo somewhere. Somebody who uses and knows desktop should take a look at that. And why does Emacs keep asking me this question? For debugging purposes. I do not know desktop well enough, but this seems to be a bug in desktop (failing to disable undo). Once Emacs-22 is released, the undo info will be discarded automatically, to prevent crashes and memory leakage.
