You said earlier that it crashed, which isn't what your BZ report says.
Crashing and freezing are different things. In many ways debugging a
crash is much easier since you can get a core dump. Debugging a freeze
means trying to narrow down the exact conditions that make it occur.

Also, when mentioning a BZ report here on the list it's conventional to
give the bug number (or better, the URL of the BZ page) in case someone
wants to add anything.
