I have some unpleasant news: it looks like it takes slightly longer with the fix, but the crash still managed to occur with 3.2 and I lack ESP to check for warnings immediately before that. I thought that 8 hours is enough testing, heh. It simply took 9 and a half under nigh-ideal conditions (stable signal from fixed AP with notebook also steadily in one place). Good news is that I remembered to decrease console font size before the crash. So now I could see that the long stack trace was just a decoy to ensure that the first Oops scrolls too far up. I now have photos of the first one, too.
