About all one can tell from this log message is that the bitcoin-qt application crashed. It doesn't contain details as to why.

One possible cause is that the blockchain files are corrupt, which could happen because of a previous crash or if the computer is turned off without closing the app properly. You could fix this by reinstalling the application (but make sure to save a copy of your `wallet.dat` file or you will lose all your coins).

It could also be a bug in the application. If you can reproduce the crash, you can report it at <https://bitcoin.org/en/bitcoin-core/contribute/issues>
