The problem is, I don't know how to solve this problem (I'm an > enthusiastic [although maybe not really experienced] org-mode user and would > *really* like to use org-mode in the future as well). My setup is as follows: Org-mode version 7.8.08 (release_7.8.03.594.g013d.dirty) GNU Emacs 24.0.94.1 (x86_64-apple-darwin, NS apple-appkit-1038.36) of 2012-02-28 on bob.porkrind.org ... and Emacs never crashes - never ever! I don't use Sweave. - can you isolate what you do most use in your .emacs (easy if it's written in Org-babel). - Revert to 7.7. ~ test - Revert to 24.0.94.1 (macforosx binary build) ~ test I use it all the time (mostly Emacs but in and out of Org and Babel constantly) and it's solid, so it's probably your configuration.
