Comment 2 for bug 280961

Remember, this bug report is a duplicate. Comment here only if you think the duplicate status is wrong.

I cannot access the report of which this is a duplicate, so I will continue here as for now. I did a backtrace with gdb and experienced a fatal system crash. This is the output:
