Electron renderer process crashing in Windows, faulting thread

1

I have been dealing with intermittent crashing in our Electron application for the last month and have not been able to arrive at a solution. Crashing causes the Electron window to turn blank because the renderer process is dead but the main process is still alive.

Crashing doesn't seem connected to any particular user action. The app lasts about half an hour on average, but could crash after only 5 minutes or run for a couple hours.

Our stack is pretty standard, with React, Redux, and Sagas.

Here is the exception from the crash dump:

In crash-43.dmp the assembly instruction at node!v8::internal::IncrementalMarking::RecordWriteSlow+1187 in C:\Users\Motorized Precision2\Desktop\mpstudio\node_modules\electron\dist\node.dll from Node.js has caused an access violation exception (0xC0000005) when trying to read from memory location 0x0000000b on thread 0

and the stack trace:

I have examined the renderer code very carefully to make sure that all listeners/timeouts are handled, and now I'm honestly just not sure what to do next. Is this a memory leak, or something else? Someone save us!
