Hi Raimund, So the tracking information on the customer's target machine is useless, looks like it was a desktop build cooked by someone, so not true idea if it is 2.8.0 or not. Below is the segfault that occurred, where the first seven frames are similar (frames 2,3,4 are not defined in the bug report). Any ideas? Not really a lot of information to go on ...

Are you sure it's what you're seeing?
