[Antec (info-janmob)]

It crashed and then I no longer enter into the system, not even after reboot, this problem is quite large ..

[Andrei Dziahel (develop7)]

Any workarounds here?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

I think it's likely that one of the heap corruption fixes going into the unity 5.12 update will solve this.

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

As per comment #7, it's likely this was fixed in unity 5.12. Not sure, so set to Incomplete for now and see if any more duplicates occur.
