[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

Setting importance to high, because this crash happens more frequently and appears on https://errors.ubuntu.com/.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont (rdenis)]

This is a heap corruption. libproxy is the most likely culprit, but valgrind trace would be required to find out.

[Rémi Denis-Courmont (rdenis)]

Still waiting for valgrind logs...

[Benjamin Drung (bdrung)]

...or a test case how to reproduce the crash.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
