This crash has been reported multiple times, but so far no clear
explanation has been given on the mailing list


Mainly because we didn't know exactly what was going on.

So, for all people that had some mysterious crash on import in the last
couple of days... here are a few pointers


HOW TO SEE IF YOUR CRASH IS THE SAME AS THIS ONE
The thread that dies will be in one of the backgroundjobs function (might
be a couple of frames up the stack)


HOW TO GET RID OF THE CRASH
update trunk, trunk shouldn't crash on this since yesterday evening

* commit f359b2d79b4 disables lua which triggers the bug
* commit 4b539ee0b158d40 fixes the bug but needs more testing


HOW TO HELP ME TEST THE FIX

* you need to have a reliable way to trigger the bug
* reenable lua on your local build by uncommenting the two lua sections in
src/CMakelist.txt
* try to trigger the bug and see if it disapears



hope this helps
