GNU Emacs 24.0.50.1 (x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.18.3) of
2010-04-14 on beteigeuze 


It's the trunk of that date. I use it all day and it's fine. Only one
crash including my x-server - but I'm not sure who is to blame: Emacs or
my fingers.

I don't even recall the magic key on this machine, hence I could press
it once in a while without knowing it :-D
