I believe upstream considers 2.14 obsolete, but it has also been
reported as a crasher in 2.16. Any fixes will need to be backported.

It would be interesting to know if this crash also happens with 2.18,
but I have no way to reproduce it.

Maybe, I will leave the decision to increase the severity to the
maintainers.
