bug#11257: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/54775

[Marius Hofert]

I used "M-x set-variable <RET> debug-on-error <RET> t" to set Emacs in debug 
mode. After this change, I just changed buffers until it crashed again. I 
thought I'm lucky but apparently not: How do I obtain a "Backtrace buffer" when 
Emacs crashes... ? After a restart, there was no such buffer :-(
