If you want to help us find the culprit, run Emacs under GDB (install Emacs with symbols if needed), and file a bug report with the C backtrace, using "M-x report-emacs-bug RET". Continuing the discussion here is unlikely to find the reason for the crashes. Another alternative is to upgrade to Emacs 26, perhaps this problem was already solved during development after Emacs 25.
