Seconded! Since 1.9 we've faced very complex conditions triggering some sleeping bugs like these. One of the issues reported in Olivier's trace was related to the improper locking of connections that was fixed some time ago. When facing any bug (not only a crash), the first thing to do is to make sure you're up to date. If you don't update, it is guaranteed that the bug you've faced will be able to appear again under the same conditions. If you update, you have a chance that it was fixed. And if not, developers can immediately look at the issue without first asking to update. Based on the recent history with such complex bugs, I predict we'll probably face one, maybe even two other bugs of this level of severity in very rare conditions before 1.9 reaches EOL but overall the long code audit that started some time ago helped address causes more than consequences, even if that leads to more difficult backports. And despite such few issues, the internal processing in 1.9 and 2.0 is way cleaner, safer and more correct than previous versions, so it's really strongly recommended to stay up to date.
