No triage on this bug yet?  It's quite annoying to see all of one's windows disappear simply from trying to save a session.

Comment 2 Teppo Turtiainen 2007-07-16 18:09:44 UTC

Unique and detailed stack trace. Confirming.

Comment 3 André Klapper 2007-12-12 13:47:09 UTC

@Teppo: if you see decent stacktraces containing complete symbols and calls, please add the keyword "STACKTRACE". thanks.
