Description Tomas A 2015-12-11 08:30:42 UTC 
Debian 8.2 crashes on a daily basis, sometimes twice a day with the "NULL pointer dereference" bug. I'm running Debian 8.2 on ASROCK Q1900-ITX motherboard with Intel® Quad-Core J1900 CPU. The issue seems occurring only when I run utserver program hwich is a utorrent standalone server for Linux. Syslog was able to capture the kernel messages only once during such crashes for some reason, so here it is:
