No, I haven't seen a crash yet.

Sorry, I've never been able to keep track of what sid or wheezy or
whatever means.

I stay fairly current with the testing distribution, whatever that is,
on an amd64 system.

You'll have to tell me precisely what to install and what commands to
run to reproduce the crash.
