advises that this bug is a duplicate of this bug report:
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/927340

However, the link to bug #927340 is dead, so it's not really a duplicate is it?

The bug is affecting my installation as well. Any update on a fix. The bug post dates to back 4 months, so I would have thought that there was something further to report by now.

Bug affecting my installation after upgrading from 14.04. I've noticed that before the SIGSEGV, the process tops at 100% of one of my core's usage.

[Dfarce (i8b4u)]

I only got this bug after upgrading from 15.10 to 16.04.
