Thanks for explanation about backups. my_filename.pcb- did not existed after the crash, I only had my original file. Crash happened shortly after starting pcb.

I checked all logs and it's rather not possible that process was killed because of memory. Still there is "failed to create pixmap" output that I never noticed before.
The board has about 150 elements, "any angle" tracks, 4 polygons and thermal tools. I remember that I run teardrops() shortly before, so there were arcs also.

Now I hit something else (while still trying to reproduce original crash) and this time it can be reproduced:
select element
Shift-D (pinout window appears)
click "close" on this window:

 Loading file 334a_tunning.pcb took 0.770000
The program 'pcb' received an X Window System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 35022 error_code 9 request_code 134 minor_code 9)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Is this pcb or my xorg installation?

Stefan,
Read my mail to the end. I'm not blaming developers, I'm asking about backups and reporting possible bug.

Regards,
Michael W.
