Regarding the crash that shows up in dialer-app autopilot on the nightly
smoke tests that has been ongoing, we have isolated it to this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mir/+bug/1240400

It's not actually a dialer-app crash but Mir/Unity8 crash that then
cause the dialer to crash in autopilot. It was reported fix committed
some time ago but there is still an issue. It's quite reproducible even
without running autopilot, but only so if you run the dialer-app from
the command line. The steps are outlined in the bug.

Can someone from the Mir team please take a look?

Thanks,
Bill
