This has a high chance of being related to an extremely elusive bug that has been seen on 2 linux systems. We have been unable to develop a recipe for the bug and it is hard to generate without long recordings.

A workaround exists, however:

For ready-to-run versions of Ardour: goto Preferences > Editor > Waveforms and disable "Show waveforms .. while recording".

For self-build versions of Ardour, you can go one step further, and use --disable-threaded-waveforms at configure time.

We'd appreciate feedback on whether this fixes the crashes you're seeing, since it would at least confirm that it is the same bug.

Also, please note that crash dumps in this format are not useful to us, because we do not use Windows or Microsoft tools for development.

http://ardour.org/debugging_ardour has instructions on how to get backtraces from ardour on all platforms.

It looks like the workaround you suggested works. I didn't have any crashes today :-))
I will continue testing this and will update accordingly.

Thank you!
