Replying to pulkomandy:
It happens on real hardware too. Apparently having things hapenning in the menu seems to make it crash sooner (run a jam of haiku sourcecode in the background for example).
I think the cause of this is hrev35962. I remember having this very problem much time ago (I think there is a ticket for it). Then recently I removed this "hack" and tested, and the problem didn't seem to happen anymore. Obviously it's still there.
Since some time, I don't have a working internet connection anymore at home, so I won't be able to work on it in the foreseeable future.

Connection is back (even if intermittently).
I could reproduce this exactly once (inside virtualbox). Do you have any idea on how to reproduce it more often ? Unfortunately, since it doesn't happen so often, it's not easy to fix (except reverting the commit, but I wouldn't like to do that, since the previous code was wrong, too).

The more you have changes hapenning in processcontroller display, the more likely it will happen. I think it is a race condition when two items are trying to redraw at the same time or something like that.
For me, downloading the haiku sourcecode and jamming it, which creates and deletes a lot of small processes, create enough activity to make it crash everytime.

Also running the POSIX test suite (cd src/tests/system/libroot/posix/posixtestsuite/; ./run_tests THR) seems to trigger it pretty reliably (since some tests hang, best reduce the TIMEOUT_VAL in the Makefile to 10 or so). It's completely sufficient to open the ProcessController menu and wait for a bit (no need to open any submenu).

Should be fixed in hrev36369.
