I believe so.  I have had symptomatically similar crashes on two 
different jessie systems, but I had not installed debugging symbols, and 
it's hard to reproduce those crashes at command.

If there is code in jessie that causes stack corruption, it should be 
fixed in any case in my opinion, regardless whether it causes crashes or 
not.  Is it clear whether the stack corruption implies a security threat?
