plasmashell crashed again today, but I just realized that these particular
crashes will /never/ generate a core because it shuts itself down and exits
"normally" from the OS perspective, albeit with a non-zero status code, i.e.
it's invoking exit(255) instead of raising an uncaught signal.

Today's crash was again while the monitors were waking up from sleep, and with
a very similiar stderr trace to all of the previous instances (attached).  Of
note, in case it wasn't clear from my earlier reporting, this is not a
deterministic failure; the monitors wake successfully dozens of times between
every pair of crashes, and as far as I can recall I've never had two crashes
within 24-48 hours of each other (so there may be some resource that's being
gradually exhausted).

Anyway, I've restarted it, again under GDB, with a breakpoint on exit() this
time, and I'll gcore when it quits on me again, but I'm skeptical that will add
much value in troubleshooting a fault of this nature in a multithreaded
program.
