Well, I don't quite have enough time to get knee deep into a crash
dump. I can suggest a few things.
You could try moving to -current. The VM group is in the midst of
comitting a bunch of bug fixes into -current ( current == -4.x ) but, more
importantly, there are bug fixes already in -current which have not
yet been backported to -3.x. If your crashing problem does not occur
under 4.x, there's a good chance that it will be fixed in -3.x in the
next week or so as the fixes are backported. If the crash still occurs
under -4.x, we know there's still a problem somewhere.
Also, a large number of changes have been made to BT driver even since
the 3.1 release. It might be beneficial to upgrade to the latest -stable
( i.e. -3.x ) first, and if that does not clear up the problem to try
-current ( i.e. -4.x ). There are no guarentees with any of these,
unfortunately.
-Matt
