Random crashes should certainly be investigated though, especially if you've
found an area of the code where they may happen from time to time. Can you
attempt to reproduce with core dump enabled, or even under GDB? I'd like to
see a backtrace if possible.

FYI, I fixed a crash bug this morning that conceivably could occur anywhere,
but in practice was only reproducible on some Solaris boxes.
