You searched the net? Then you should have seen the reason of this bug in Base.

Still unfixed.
See also https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=865303 and "friends".
Somewhere there is also the boot option to disable the security(!) fix
to make Java work again.

In crashes there seldomly is. What would be needed is a backtrace but I won't
ask for one as I think it's clear that it's the above bug. If you want, though:

Wouldn't have happened if you wouldn't use a architecture which was already
obsolete in the last decade.
