OK sorry, I found it...

Just FYI:
- the kernel has been updated to 4.10.0-20-generic since this issue.
- apport-collect has been executed (but under this new kernel).
- new kernel seems to crash even more often: twice in the last 30 minutes!!! I'm opening another issue...

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.
