Description of problem: I'm running Fedora 9 on a Lenovo Thinkpad T43P. I've seen emacs crash four times in the last three weeks. It seems to happen when running GNUS and fetching e-mail over IMAP, although that may not have anything to do with it. It just happened again this evening. I saw this in my .xsession-errors file: Locking assertion failure.

I start it from a button on the panel. Run GNUS. Fetch e-mail over IMAP and see if emacs crashes. This is very intermittent, and it works most of the time. It seems to fail more often shortly after a reboot.
Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. This bug report isn't very useful because it is incomplete. You'll need to add a full stack trace; please make sure you have debuginfo packages installed and see http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/StackTraces for more information about getting a useful stack trace. Thank you.
I've upgraded to FC10 and the bug no longer occurs. So I'll close it.
