You're close. =)  You're cutting off the top bits - where it says where it 
crashed.  Just include from the 'program exited with sigsegv at' information 
on.

Both of the crashes you sent seem to be dying in the LCD server communication 
code..   Looks to me like it's probably due to unsafe threaded usage of 
QSocket in the LCD class.  Would probably be better to rewrite that to use 
QSocketDevice instead.
