Created a pair of scripts for fixing those crashes.

What do these scripts do ?

• check : Returns a count of the garbage texts and any permutations/combinations which may arise
• fix : Replaces all he garbage texts with "Ziggy eats a potato"

Requirements :

• Rooted Phone
• sqlite3 installed
• knowledge of executing shell scripts.

Execute the shell scripts with root privileges .

Instructions :

• Copy the scripts to sdcard(or wherever you want)
• Manually stop whatsapp from apps menu
• Execute check script with root privileges(Using terminal emulator/adb shell or script manager of your choice )
• Execute fix script with root privileges if you get output other than 0 with the check.
• Execute check script to ensure that the script worked and you have 0 as output (0,0,0,0)
• Restart whatsapp.

su
sh check
sh fix

Cheers !!

It's more like plug your work everywhere over the internet. Not a big fix either. But it works for me ...
