It probably does, but
1) the relevant commit comes after several dozen other commits since the
version currently in stretch (actually it happened "right before" the
1.9.1 release); I can't assume that just because the patch applies it
doesn't depend on some subtle change done before
2) if possible, I always prefer something that an upstream says it's
"good" rather than mess with patches, especially in small projects
like this where that's actually feasible
3) if you glances at the upstream commit log you can see there are at
least 3 more crash fixes, and I deem crash important enough to be
fixed if possible
Furthermore this is a leaf package, and even if it's true the Debian
freeze doesn't distinguish between leaf and non-leaf or priority of the
package I hope you can see how there is no way this update could
jeopardize the final release.

Another version is available in jessie, and ttbomk everything went well,
so I'd say it is, yes. Anyway, this is a question for the actual
maintainer :)
