I had that problem for years with emacs-21 and never found a solution.  
I just got in the habit of saving my work often.  M-x recover-session is 
also useful.

Two users (one of them being me) have reported problems with it:

I suggest that you try it to see if it works for you.  If not, you might 
want to try Angelo Graziosi's build of emacs 22.1:

You'll have to reinstall auctex after installing it.  I've had pretty 
good luck with this.  There's still an occasional crash, but it doesn't 
seem to happen as often as it did with emacs-21.
