thanks!  if it does not works, i have only one more idea(a patch
which removes some suspicious code which abuses a pointer any way that
has to be fixed properly ). otherwise i need to recreate the issue and
capture the stack trace completely, put debug prints. i ran an
overnight test but was unable to recreate the issue. later today AN  i
got a crash accidentally but only once, after that never.
