No, this is clearly a different bug.  Note that cr2 contains the
address that was faulted on.  In George's case, it was clearly a null
pointer dereference.  In your case it's clearly a case of using
already freed memory.

Could you provide me with the kernel and core dump so that I can
analyze them?
