Just saw your last comment, Jean ;)

The content of MP3 files is mapped to memory for reading. Unfortunately we are not able to detect if the underlying file disappears unexpectedly while mapped. This kind of crash will occur with any version of Mixxx.

"You can also get it from accessing a memory mapped device if there's an error of some kind."

I don't know if it is possible to handle SIGBUS signals gracefully? Maybe this is an edge case that we need to accept.
