Fedora 7 is still under testing. If you are quite new to Linux you 
probably wouldnt be wanting to run development or test releases. Newer 
version of glibc which fixes the emacs crash is available from

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=239344#c25

Note that fedora-test list is more suitable for such discussions.
