Research direction
Start by reproducing the crash from a folder's context menu with “Unlock with File Locksmith,” noting that the report says reproduction is unreliable. If available, inspect the provided crash dump and compare the behavior with the expected folder-lock display; done means File Locksmith no longer crashes and shows the folder locks.
