Thanks for forwarding this to me.

Faulty error handling code appears to be the direct cause for the crash. It
releases buf.pointer which was still being used by the properties --- even
if tagging data nodes failed (for whatever reason).

It'd be cool if someone could send me DSDT/SSDT from this machine. I wonder
if there's a data node that is referred to from more than one location, and
whether that could lead to two references to the same acpi_handle. I'd hope
this could be disallowed in DSD Guide.

I'll send a patch soon.
