Have you tried helgrind?  That seems to be the one to try next.  The default
stack trace size it keeps is not very large, so you may want to increase it
to 100 or so before you go to debugging these.  These 4 errors probably are
genuine bugs and could be the root cause of the crash that's occurring...
