This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #123480. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

Thanks for the report, can you tell us a few steps in order to trigger the crash? thanks you.

Sorry, I have no idea how to reproduce this. It happens very randomly, usually when CPU is under heavy load.
