I've uploaded version 1.50.3-2 which reverts some of the upstream changes
that were brought in with 1.50.2-3. When it has built and propagated to
your mirror, please could you try that version and report whether it's
stable for you? This would be useful information in working out how to
fix this properly. Be prepared to downgrade back to 1.50.2-2 if that
doesn't work.

Please also report any warnings from gnome-shell in the Journal that seem
to be correlated with the times when it would previously have crashed.

Thanks,
