'plate o crow' like humble pie are very common dishes. I have had many a
helping myself..... Problems of this variety are really crappy. Its soooo
much easier when hardware just fails. Marginal power supplies I find are
the worst. I find that enabling core dumps help. If the crash is in a
different and seemingly random place each time, I will look at hardware
issues quicker.
