arg, this sounds nasty. We had tried this for a large data store recently
and it worked with two attempts to sync it fully, so this is unexpected
and was running in our tests. Thanks for testing it and keeping up with the 
issues.

You would need to run gdb before the crash and attach it to the process
to get a useful backtrace.
It is quite easy.

What happens when you restart it?
Note that you can rebuild the index on folders if the index would come 
corrupted. Do a right click on the top folder and use the trouble shooting 
menu to rebuild the index. This sometimes helps.

Best,
Bernhard
