It has been mentioned in the past many many times - and promptly forgotton just as many times. Forgive the harsh sounding critcism - just trying to get attention called to this issue. It is not at all hard to reproduce - but it does not log anything to the system logs when this sort of crash happens. The fact that nobody has looked at this over the course of the last year really surprises me.
