Unfortunately no. The crash happens on the disk where I store my log
files. And after it happened the magic SysRq keys don't work anymore.

The crash only happens on my spinning rust drive that uses the cfq
scheduler. The SSDs (deadline) are fine.

The BUG happens reproducibly when building http://www.sagemath.org/ on
that drive.
