Well, without a stack trace there is very little that can be done, by
either SmartFilter or the Squid developers, unless you get as far as
reaching a SmartFilter developer who manages to reproduce the fault on

If you manage to get a stack trace of when it happens you will have a
lot higher chances I think.
