I think at there's at least a surplus "-ing" - shouldn't it be
possible crash with stack unwinding

I would never have guessed that this was talking about a "WITH-stack";
it's more natural to read it as a crash "with" particular attributes.
If it's trying to refer to the keyword WITH, this is probably a second
thing that needs fixing.

In other words, a possible crash involving unwinding of the "WITH"
stack? The best way I can see of abbreviating that without making it
completely unintelligible is:
possible crash (unwinding WITH stack)
and now I look back I see that's essentially Jean-Pierre Giraud's
suggestion.
