I haven’t got the file mentioned there, e02_appcompat.txt - it is deleted by sending the error report, which I did before thinking to make a copy. However, I sent you the corresponding file for an earlier crash attached to my message of 25th January.

No worries, that only tells what program it was. There’s another useful dump report, but they keep the file locked so you can’t get it.

I eventually figured it out from 0x000be368 (fault address).

See the first screenshot: the UI is still visible, and doesn’t close until the error report is sent. I’m not sure whether it’s usable, as I hadn’t thought to try.

It’s probably still fully functional, in which case you could push the crash message off the screen and ignore it. The thread that crashed already did the main part of its job. You were still fully operational on the network and generating during the times you were crashed.

I’ll let you know of course if I have anything further to report.

Thanks.

BTW, I sent a transfer to your Bitcoin address in case you’re curious what that looks like. (It can only get “from” and comment info if you can receive incoming connections)
