Binary package hint: gvfs
Seemingly random, happens in the background with some disk activity, sometimes heavy, sometimes not, sometimes with a USB HD connected, sometimes not. Can't figure out how to reproduce, filing in the vain hope the retracer will reveal something.

This crash happens here several times a day. From looking at the backtrace and the source I guess meta_tree_ flush_locked( ) gets called on a MetaTree which got cleared by meta_tree_clear before as the root is NULL and all other cases in which root gets changed seem to be checked for NULL.
