compiz crashed with SIGSEGV in free()

[Falk Pauser]

Binary package hint: compiz

The crash happened while switching from the the only moments ago started, not yet responding gedit-window to the already running google-chome by triggering the static-app-switcher doing a fast "ALT+TAB". Maybe its a problem with the static-app-switcher, not being able to render a preview of the not yet responding gedit-window? Just a thought.
