   If emacs is crashing with a "fatal error," it should be reported
to bug-gnu-emacs@prep.ai.mit.edu.  Make sure you describe exactly what you
did to crash emacs and also give the version of emacs you're using. 

   Also, if you report fatal errors that VM has caused when you post to
this group it may also be useful to let everyone know which version of
emacs you're using.  That way we'll know what to avoid and in what versions
this is significant.
