Emacs crashing on C-x C-g


Hi all,

I'm hitting a strange behavior with emacs lately, where hitting C-x C-g [1] sometimes causes it to quit instantly: no request to save files, no seg fault, no error message, just gone (have to reset the terminal to clear out emacs' ncurses settings). It invariably happens after I've been away from the terminal for a while (days) and then come back use it again. I can't reproduce it reliably, but it's been awfully hard on my population of venerable emacs sessions, which used to go for weeks at a time between windows update reboots.

I'll keep an eye out for more hints on what's going on, but meanwhile, has anyone else had this happen to them?

cygwin-1.7.16-1
emacs-x11-24.2-1 [2][3]
mintty-1.1.2-1 [4]

Thanks,
Ryan

[1] Usually due to starting some C-x command and then changing my mind
[2] I always use it in terminal mode, because normal emacs is not mouse-aware
[3] I recently upgraded from emacs 24.1 to 24.2, and that cut the frequency quite a bit, but it still happens occasionally
[4] I recently upgraded from mintty 1.1.1, but that didn't seem to make a difference
