Keep sending in the strack traces, they help a lot.  You did find a
_real_ bug with the extents code, even if there is already a fix for the
next release.  It's much better to error on the side of re-reporting
something that may have been fixed than to risk not reporting something
broken.

I've been very impressed with the crash reports seen on this list.
