Remember to cover the basics.  Including a minimal LaTeX example
file exhibiting the problem might help.

Attempts to invoke ‘preview latex’ from menu, icon in Emacs, using keystrokes immediately crashes Emacs.

That looks like a problem.  Any Ghostscript installed?

Good point, but `preview-gs-command' set to nil doesn't make my Emacs
crash.  If this is the only culprit of this problem we should prevent
Emacs from crashing, but I can't reproduce the crash itself.  Edward,
we need help from you in order to fix the problem.

Bye,
Mosè

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)

More information was requested, but not provided.  Therefore I'm closing
this report for now.  We can reopen if new input arrives.

Best, Arash
