2014/1/12 Ben Hutchings b...@decadent.org.uk: If you have space to install wheezy on a separate partition, please can you try that. (Of course, that crash ought to be fixed in 3.2.y. But I don't know that anyone will have the time and knowledge to do so. And it's not part of this bug.)

I kind of wonder if it has anything to do with compiler code generation; I don't remember if you checked whether -O[0,1,2,3] on the kernel changed anything. The appearance is so random, but when it does appear, it's stuck for that version (i.e. not just a race issue that is hard to repro).
