I see this regularly. It usually occurs when the user doesn't logoff correctly and just lets the session timeout. I find the quickest fix is just to delete the user profile and start afresh.

NG would usually crash 3-4 times a week. I don't leave sessions running and log out when I'm done. I found that after about 15-20 login/off that it would start to get flaky e.g. start to login to a session and it would fail. A restart of NG was needed to get things running again.
