Do you use the latest version of FTL? We released an update only yesterday.

If you use the latest version, please provide a backtrace as described here:

The last release runs by now for 24 hours. Looks very good. I will let it run further in debugging mode.
Thanks for the immediate answer.

Okay, we pushed a number of small code improvements over the last few days, hoping to harden the code. The most recent version is v2.7.3 by now.
