I don't see why apps should "crash" due to this. They might freeze and then unfreeze again. But "crash"? No, hopefully not. If they are this fragile than they should be fixed, instead of adding non-trivial workarounds to PA. Don't forget that C-z is very similar to this kind of freezing. If an app can't survive C-z than it needs fixing anyway I would say.
