I reported here that Emacs crashes with 1.5.7 and the following
snapshots, but I also worked on Emacs for long hours without crashes.
This mail made me think. The crashes were at home where I work with
Xwin, while the long sessions were at work where I work with another
X server. I'll check it more (I can run this X server at home too),
but until all Xwin problem are cleared we should assume that Emacs
crashes because of the X server.
