DebugView output at the moment of the crash.

SUMMARY

From time to time, Digikam crashes when tagging pictures. It only happens once in a while, but it has happened to me maybe three times today, so it's not super uncommon. 

This last time, I have been able to use DebugView to see the cause.

I have attached an extract of the DebugView output. Tell me if you needed the whole log.

I'd say the most relevant lines are these:
[8224] MGWHELP: C:\Program Files\digiKam\Qt5Core.dll - no dwarf symbols	
[8224] MGWHELP: C:\Program Files\digiKam\Qt5Widgets.dll - no dwarf symbols	
[8224] MGWHELP: C:\Program Files\digiKam\Qt5Gui.dll - no dwarf symbols	
[8224] MGWHELP: C:\Program Files\digiKam\plugins\platforms\qwindows.dll - no dwarf symbols	


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Tag several pictures or set geographical coordinates

OBSERVED RESULT
Digikam crashes

EXPECTED RESULT
Digikam keeps writing tags to pictures

SOFTWARE VERSIONS
digiKam-6.0.0-beta1-20180920T204303-Win64.exe on Windows 10 64 bits

I think you can close this one. I have not had that problem in a while. It is true that it mostly happened when tagging a big amount of pictures, but I have not experienced it again for several months now.

If the problem arised again, I would submit another bug report.
