VSCode: Extension host terminated unexpectedly

I'm using the rust-analyzer v0.2.368 with VSCode, and everything is working well. However, I've started getting "Extension host terminated unexpectedly" every several minutes. It's easy enough to restart it, but some features aren't available or are very slow while it's indexing.

Hard to say what's wrong! Is there any useful info after doing troubleshooting steps? User Manual

Of course, the problem hasn't occurred since I posted this topic.

I've set up trace.server=verbose and trace.extension=true in my VSCode settings. I have rust-analyzer version: 2020-11-02 (86d3b78). Status shows

The output for Rust Analyzer Client is big. Is there anything in particular I should look for?

I just got the error. The last few entries on the console on the developer tools are

Edit: The box is only showing part of what I pasted. I can see it in the preview pane, but not on the page. Here's the last few records.

It just happened again. The console shows

ExtensionHostFailed

I'm including a screen shot because cut/paste doesn't include the text in red.

@alanhkarp, can you create an issue against the rust-analyzer repo with the information you've posted here?

https://github.com/rust-analyzer/rust-analyzer/issues/new?assignees=&labels=&template=bug_report.md&title=

The rust analyzer started failing every few minutes. I closed the VSCode window for one of my projects (I have two projects open.) and reopened my project. The analyzer hasn't failed since (about an hour). Could the problem be a memory leak?
