Hmm. A little more analysis shows that I had an overly aggressive white list. Oops.
So yes, I can find this after all.

Uhh, I hadn't tried using this in ... I don't know ... forever.
This is neat. And yes, it immediately finds the crash on Linux and points at
DiveTripModelBase::reset() calling down through DiveListNotifier::divesSelected()
which in turn causes the stats code to access freed data.
Which is of course consistent with what Berthold said earlier.
Berthold, are you fixing this or should I take a hammer to it?
Thanks, Thiago - I love it when I learn things...
