For the record, here's what the manual says:
Emacs is not supposed to crash, but if it does, it produces a "crash
report" prior to exiting. The crash report is printed to the standard
error stream. If Emacs was started from a graphical desktop on a GNU
or Unix system, the standard error stream is commonly redirected to a
file such as `~/.xsession-errors', so you can look for the crash report
there. On MS-Windows, the crash report is written to a file named
`emacs_backtrace.txt' in the current directory of the Emacs process, in
addition to the standard error stream.

Nowadays, tradition is shifting towards GUI invocation, so stderr will
be redirected more often than not.
