The crash has come up a few times:

        https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1707/31965.html
        https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1610/30710.html
        https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1612/30836.html
        https://lists.suckless.org/dev/1608/30245.html

Nobody seems to be able to pin down the way to break a working
system.

The "escaping the grid" has also come up at least once:
