This crash has the same stack trace characteristics as bug #868537. However, the latter was already fixed in an earlier package version than the one in this report. This might be a regression or because the problem is in a dependent package.

Indeed, this is supposed to be fixed, and the fix has by now made it to updates. Can anyone seeing this issue make sure you have fully updated your system and see if it can still be reproduced?

As far as I can tell this would probably only be reproducible if you're near an "invisible" wifi network; that's worth taking into consideration when testing. Thanks!
