I just did the merge and it's using a relatively untested new KPI so regressions aren't too surprising I'm afraid. #96 is more or less content free in terms of providing useful information. Getting a core + backtrace would be a lot more helpful. See the repo's wiki for details on improving your odds of getting a core.
