      I then experienced a similar crash a few seconds after(!) entering a

      Anyway, there isn't enough information here to find the bug, but I hope it

  If your running an intermediate CVS version (between 8-25 and 9-6) there was a 
bug that would cause it to crash when creating a readable.

  Ideally, if you can do something like use the utils/crossloop.web script to 
generate stack traces and keep the core files around, this in itself can be 
useful.  In many cases, I can just look at the stack trace that that generates 
(it mails it out) and figure out the cause.  In some cases, I need more 
information, and would need to look at the core files.
