Not exactly the topic you mentioned but as a side mark to crashes on Mac OS X I want to add: I am trying to implement life-logging [1] with Org-mode and GNU Emacs. Therefore I created [2]. Even in this early stage, it ends up with >150.000 lines in approx. 30 Org-mode files. Most of them are in «*.org_archive» files though. (Further performance information: [3]) On my notebook I am using GNU Linux (Ubuntu 11.04) with GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.24.4). At home I've got Mac OS X 10.5 with http://emacsformacosx.com/ (sorry, no detailed version number since I am currently sitting in my office *g*). I never noticed *any* crash of Emacs using Org-mode on my Linux machine. But on my OS X box, I notice crashes many times. Mostly when navigating (vertically or horizontally) in the Agenda view. Maybe there is an (hidden?) issue with GNU Emacs on OS X (too). 1. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lifelogging 2. https://github.com/novoid/Memacs 3. https://github.com/novoid/Memacs/blob/master/FAQs_and_Best_Practices.org -- Karl Voit
