Thanks for reporting this problem.
We've received the same problem from another user,
and are working on this issue.

I found a related bug in the cleaner daemon and fixed it,
but the cleaner still reproduces crash.
As you guessed, I think it's a cleaner bug and will
review it again.

Anyway I'll keep you informed of my progress for this.
