geth crashes while tracing a specific transaction

[Har01d]

Hello,

There’s transaction 0x0c10fafe0cdbfff32abfe53d57ec861d09986cc1050c850481f79b1a862bb10a with many layers of calls (see https://etherscan.io/vmtrace?txhash=0x0c10fafe0cdbfff32abfe53d57ec861d09986cc1050c850481f79b1a862bb10a&type=parity), and when calling something like debug.traceTransaction("0x0c10fafe0cdbfff32abfe53d57ec861d09986cc1050c850481f79b1a862bb10a", {tracer: "callTracer"}), geth suddenly crashes.

System information

Guys @holiman @linuxion @karalabe,

Any progress with this? AFAIK the upstream PR hasn't been merged and the problem still exists. We have a bunch of Geth nodes crashing due to traceTransaction calls.
