After version of 41.x.x we have notice that Silverlight application get hang and crash very often (few times per day). There is no way to replicate it ... it happened from time to time without any reason visible from our side. Before it worked well. So, users work inside our Silverlight application, and then from time to time browser return crash report (or on some users it just crash). For those which get crash report, looks like uploaded picture.
