Does it happen:
(i) a lot - so often that you can hardly get your work done;
(ii) sometimes - once or twice a week, but you're continually on edge
about it.
(iii) once a blue moon?
Hopefull it's (i) or (ii). :-)
A good thing to do would be to start your Emacs as
emacs --debug-init
, and once you've started OK, do
M-: (setq debug-on-error t)
