I find that the stability of cvs emacs has improved greatly. My
current instance has been running for eight days now. Oh wait,
actually I am running the one you can get from a git repository
(git://git.sv.gnu.org/emacs), which tends to lag behind the cvs
version by a week or two. I suspect that the maintainer of the git
repository tries to sample the cvs repository at relatively stable
moments, but I could well be wrong.

In any case, knowing that git/cvs emacs is not even beta software I
run it under gdb always, so I can get a backtrace if it crashes. (And
the gdb session is hidden away in a detached screen session, so it
doesn't clutter my workspace, which is already cluttered enough as
is.) The OP might consider doing the same, and he could then send in
bug reports to the emacs maintainers (the mew list is obviously not
the right place).
