Was this a one time issue, as I cannot find anything upstream remotely similar to this, or does it occur other times as well? Thanks!

I think I've seen the crash occurring rarely (about 5 times or so) on this particular laptop in 3 months, but it's been a while since the last one. After the crash, the screensaver still activates normally when I wait the idle period, so there seems to be no harm done. Maybe it's related to upgraded packages when I haven't rebooted the machine yet.
