Comment (by stuartm):

 The backtrace shows a sigabort, not a segfault so it's not clear cut.

 I'm reasonably confident that the correlation with the Channel Priorities
 screen is pure coincidence. What we appear to have here is UI code being
 used outside the UI thread, from the use of LoadAnimatedImages() I'm
 guessing it's mythweather. Whatever it is, it has no business calling that
 code in a background thread, the redraw code is not thread safe as it's
 not designed to be accessed in multiple threads.
