Agh, I totally forgot to actually decode the stacktrace on this before sending
it out. I can do that if anyone would think it would help, but I have a
feeling the stacktrace here isn't particularly useful in the first place
considering the culprit commit here.

As well, hopefully it goes without saying but: I'm happy to try any kind of
fixes or provide any more information from this machine. Just let me know ♥
