Could you enable savecore on this machine, and then show us the stack
trace from the crash dump?  This might give at least some clue as to
what's going on -- the panic message you cite only says "something
went wrong".  To obtain the stack trace from a crash dump, you can
do something like:

  adb /var/crash/hostname/{unix,vmcore}.N
  $c

Sometimes the other info printed along with the panic is also useful;
you could extract those from syslog (e.g. the backtrace, which is at
times different from the crash dump stack trace).
