I should have been more verbose in my message. I didn't mean to imply 
this is the same problem. The backtrace which I sent today is of a new 
crash different from the ones I was talking about yesterday (it's an 
all-time high btw. Three crashes within 24 h). And yes, the backtraces 
do look different even to the untrained eye.
