I haven't been able to reproduce #793340 and haven't had the Mumble
client crash on me.  (I use the Mumble client daily.)

This is essentially a duplicate bug of #793340 so it would have been
better to respond to #793340 if there was new information about it.  It
probably makes sense to merge this bug with #793340 AFAICT.

Crashed trying to join a server?  The only time I know where Mumble
really gets screwed up trying to connect to a server is when there are
multiple versions of OpenSSL loaded, which happens due to Qt4 not being
compiled with the new version of OpenSSL, so both load.  /That/ will
lead to some very strange behavior.  See #804487.

So if I understand correctly: you leave the client open and then
shutdown, and that causes mumble to crash?

The only time I've seen this (so far) is with #804487 during OpenSSL
transitions on Sid.  I recall an OpenSSL transition was pending -- did
that occur, and Qt4 not get binNMUed yet?

I totally agree re: loosing the mumble certificate.  :(  At the moment
the best I can suggest is to make a copy of the certificate in
~/Documents rather than relying solely on the automatically-made backup,
because during OpenSSL transitions there is some strange behavior:

There's also more about this at bug #1876 upstream:

   https://github.com/mumble-voip/mumble/issues/1876

That's my best guess as to what might be going on here.
