I applied this patch on 3.2.y and I have been running tests for the
past 30+ hours. I have not seen the crash yet (Previously I would see
a crash on an average every 15 min.). It looks like it does help.
Thanks much for the patch.

I will continue the tests for the next week or so for any other bugs.

Thanks,
Guru
