This could be the effect of the issue fixed by commit 7e78723d8f34d5f459417742f56d38c93566d47d (pushed in 5.1 couple of days ago, while in master had it since end of February). Can you try using the latest 5.1 branch? A new release in that branch will be done soon.
@miconda we are trying the commit and haven't seen more crashes but these were very random.
Reopen if occurs again, adding new details based on used source code. Closing now as it gets aged here.
Closed #1897.
