Re: GNOME Shell crash after opening and closing laptop lid several times

[Simon McVittie <smcv collabora com>]

Please report this crash as a gnome-shell bug on GNOME Bugzilla, and/or
to your OS vendor, if there is not already a matching bug report.

If you report it to both projects (or find matching bug reports in both
already), please leave a link to each bug report in the other one.

This looks quite a lot like
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788627> which is apparently
related to <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=788908>.

Hopefully these threads aren't related to the crash, but in case they
become relevant: this is impossible to analyze without debug symbols,
so if these threads become interesting, you would have to install debug
symbols for mozjs and get the backtrace again. From the filename this
looks like Debian or Ubuntu, so you should be able to get debug symbols
by installing libmozjs-52-0-dbgsym (from the debian-debug archive if
you are on Debian, see https://deb.debian.org/) and analyze the core
with gdb again.
