Noah,
You might consider running emacs under a debugger. It will trap the crash and
then you can ask where it happened, i.e. a stack trace. The information might
be of more interest to an emacs developer than to you.
GNU software should not crash. From the emacs info (a description of a typical
crash):
If Emacs accesses an invalid memory location ("segmentation fault"), or
exits with an operating system error message that indicates a problem
in the program (as opposed to something like "disk full"), then it is
certainly a bug.
The stack trace (along with all the other information that belongs in a bug
report) can be very helpful.
