You could consider upgrading to 4.2.4, the latest bugfix release of
4.2. I doubt however that there will be any additional work or support
for 4.2 - we're a small group.

That said, the design of the panel in 4.2 means that plugins can
easily crash the panel. Try removing all your plugins and readding
them one at a time until the crash comes back - that'll help you
discover which applet, if any, causes the trouble.
