You still don't seem to understand.  "Worse" is freefall crashing and
denying service for a problem which is still unknown but seems fairly
non-fatal (at least unless it panics the system).  Unless you have an
actual fix for this problem, and I don't see it attached to your
message anywhere, this is _exactly_ the right thing to do.  Having
freefall drop into the debugger 2 or 3 times a day is not a solution.

Since you can't fix it, don't make it worse by making stupid
suggestions. :-)
