Due to an infinite loop in Emacs? (I don't know if the bug I reported
caused this, maybe Jan D. can answer that.) But as I mentioned in my
other followup, I've never experienced an infinite loop in Emacs that
locked up X. If it was due to a stack overflow, does that mean GDB is
above suspicion in this case?
