Martin, if I were trying t debug this I would be trying to get the error to occur within gdb said I could poke around.  I don't know any better way if solving problems like this than by first because no able to examine the exception in situ.  I get that it's frustrating but there's no magic bullet.  One has the keep trying until one can find out what caused the crash.

By putting a breakpoint in exit I was able to get the stack below. I
hope this gives you a clue as to where to look next. Once again, what
I'm doing at the point of failure is dragging the corner of the X window
to resize it larger.
