When you add a crash log (which is fine) then please don't remove
relevant parts (here the beginning). I'm sure you have a wrong fix here
(as Markus already pointed out). Which machine did this happen on?

Also as general rule it's nice to have the fixes at the beginning of the
series. This allows the maintainer to take the fixes already now and
postpone the cleanups and new features until the next merge window.

Best regards
Uwe
