compiz crashed with SIGSEGV

[Cavsfan]

I got this yesterday and didn't report it because there were compiz updates. Today I got all of the updates and after the new kernel 3.13.0-11-generic was installed and I rebooted. I got this error.

Thank you for your report!

However, processing it in order to get sufficient information for the
developers failed (it does not generate a useful symbolic stack trace). This
might be caused by some outdated packages which were installed on your system
at the time of the report:

Received this same error again today. The desktop froze for a while. This was after getting all of the updates.

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

I keep getting this error: my screen freezes for 20-30 seconds and the Window Decorator option becomes unchecked in CCSM. I have to re-check the box.
And when I boot up or logout and back in the Window Decorator option is unchecked and I have to open CCSM to check the box and then it works.

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

My system has always been up to date also.

[Cavsfan (cavsfan)]

I get this error when resizing windows. The whole system freezes and then apport pops up when it comes back up. The windows decoration check mark is gone at this time too.

As part of the big bug clear up for 16.04 LTS I am marking this bug as Wont Fix.
These types of crasher are better handled by errors.ubutnu.com which can collate similar crash reports to help us identify persitent bugs rather than one-off crashes.
Sorry we are not able to help with this specific issue. If you are still experiencing this crash, please re-open the bug and add the tag "desktop-bugscrub-reopened". See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BigDesktopBugScrub for more information.
