Mist crashes after opening with the following error:

Thanks for the report, I'll take a look.

Same problem over here. Both Mist and Ethereum Wallet keep crashing.

Ditto... once syncing is complete and Mist opens, after a few seconds, Mist auto closes/crashes.

Same problem but only when syncing the blocks comes to an end. After that the text "Waiting for blocks..." appears then "2 hours since last block". At this time, the CPU goes up to 90%, then stabilize at 40% (15-20% usually). After 90 seconds it crashes.

Pretty much exactly the same here. I completely deleted the wallet folder, uninstalled the wallet and reinstalled. Still after resyncing to the last ~100-0 blocks, this keeps happening now.

Edit: this seems to be related to #3316 and #3252 , after I read this I remember also that this only started after adding tokens for tracking.
