You can post the trace on a website and add a link to bugzilla if you 
need to.

If you want to try to debug the problem yourself, search backwards in 
the trace from the point of the crash and look for HeapAlloc and 
HeapFree calls that are using a similar address, give or take 0x100 hex. 
  To do that, I use "less" and the first 6 digits in the address like: 
?401234

You can also try a +relay,+heap trace.  That might give you a heap error 
a little earlier and help narrow down the problem.
