This will be tricky. The user has been testing with bind9 from Jammy, and reported the problem against the Focal package. I agree with Paride's last comment where he says: OTOH if it does *not* crash, then we can consider bisecting and finding out which new version fixed the issue, and then dig even deeper and try finding out which commit or commits make the difference. That won't be an easy task, especially given that the reproducibility of this crash is low. I don't think we're going to do this unless an easier way to trigger the crash is found. Given that the bug sometimes takes a long time to manifest (1 month), if we were to bisect this we could be looking at spending a very long time to find something. I will leave a comment in the bug explaining what I said above and trying to provide some alternative approaches to the user.
