One of the most important things we miss is the JS backtrace.
It will be soon possible to enable it by adding DEBUG=backtrace -segfaults
SHELL_
And even better by appending also ":backtrace- warnings" , which will allow us to get some more infos.
I suggest to enable this in 17.10, and in 18.04 (till beta, at least) to get better logging in case of crash events.
