As I wrote above: rather different cases. The crash happens normally
within 20 seconds after the system is completely up. I had one case
where it survived ca. 2 minutes.

One example:

I can try to find the offending commit, sure. I just wanted to share my current
findings in the hope that someone might have an idea ...
