Short of having an affected UPS, providing the debug information
that is printed on-screen is the next best thing. Please do
continue to report problems, but please include information and
take into account that people who might be able to help can't
necessarily reproduce it themselves.
Fortunately abieber@ had an affected UPS too and posted on the
bugs@ thread with stack trace etc. (He is a developer but anybody
with the problem and either a camera or paper and pencil could
do that too). Which pointed at a particular set of commits
likely to have caused it. With a bit more testing that was
confirmed, and shortly after mpi@ diagnosed the cause.
Providing that information in an easy to read form really does
help.
