We have seen it crash on multiple CPU VMs. Also, Dane Foster appeared to have been using multiple CPUs in his video transcoding VMs. Unfortunately I can't give you more information at the moment.

I have not been successful in getting this to crash on demand in my environment, but Dane has so we're trying to recreate his.
