Whatever the user can do in the UI it should not crash.

I had some similar reports of this bug and I was experiencing it myself sometimes, but it was happening intermittently and there were periods where it didn't happen at all.  I had no clue about it, but I think we recently got a very good clue.  Can you try this fix and see if it works for you?  I still don't know exactly what causes this, but turning off the logging settings, particularly for CCD seems to make a big difference.
