Thank you Marco Maini for submitting this report.

Unfortunately this report lacks information we need to investigate it further.
Of course this is not your fault, but the coredump attached to your report
doesn't provide useful information for us.

Could you please try to obtain a backtrace by following the instructions on [1]
and upload it to [2].

Please if this crash is reproducible describe the steps that lead to it (it is
very important for us to have a test case for each crash). Also, confirm if
possible, that the crash is reproducible after disabling your third party
extensions.

This will greatly aid us in tracking down your problem.

Thanks in advance.

We have not received any duplicates for some time. Thus, this crash was likely due to some unique plugin extension combination or has been fixed in the meantime. Please, reopen it at any time if you have more related info.

Thanks for your contribution. Don't hesitate to submit new crashes,
