Hmm.. so did you this crash in the log window?  How many logs in the
window - more than 100 or so?  Could you reproduce it regularly?

Looks like not directly related to the log window.. maybe it already
corrupted some memory regions.

One thing I can think of is the perf_log.linemap was reallocated but the
log window accessed an old linemap.
