Isn't there an error message in the output of dmesg?

Or maybe can you save the whole output of dmesg after a crash and attach 
the file to an email?

In the original bug report, you mentioned that you often get an error. 
But not 'always'?

Do you have a reproducer for the problem? Such as a very simple program 
that triggers the bug.

I meant, which board or CPU. ARM64/Aarch64 is really just a very broad 
term describing the system.
