(After a Crash): Mention emacs-buffer.gdb as a recovery mechanism.

  When @code{recover-session} is done, the files you've chosen to
recover are present in Emacs buffers.  You should then save them.  Only
this---saving them---updates the files themselves.

  Because at times there have been bugs causing Emacs to loop without
checking @code{quit-flag}, a special feature causes Emacs to be suspended

  When @code{recover-session} is done, the files you've chosen to
recover are present in Emacs buffers.  You should then save them.  Only
this---saving them---updates the files themselves.

  As a last resort, if you had buffers with content which were not
associated with any files, or if the autosave was not recent enough to
have recorded important changes, you can use the
@file{etc/emacs-buffer.gdb} script with @code{gdb} to retrieve them
from a core dump--provided that a core dump was saved, and that the
emacs executable was not stripped of its debugging symbols.
