So there is no point bothering users of the trunk (including me) with
unpredictable and unavoidable crashes.

Are there any other people seeing this crash?

I think I’ve experienced the same crash.  I noticed the backtrace was in GC a few times.  But I can’t reproduce the problem reliably (or really at all anymore).  There as a time a few months ago when it was much easier for me to reproduce it.  It would happen after an hour or so of use.  It’s much less common now—I just had an uptime of 13 days.

I’m on OS X 10.9.2 using the NS version that I build periodically from trunk.  I experienced the problem more when I was on 10.8.

Do you have the backtraces somewhere that you can post?  If not,
please do so the next time you see such problems.  It is important for
us to know whether your GC crashes are similar to those reported by
others.

I can’t find any that I may have saved.  I’ll make sure to keep any that I get in the future.

Thanks,
Ivan
