Sorry, yes I realise now that I said "crash" in the subject but I
meant that it hung or stopped responding to input. What I see when
this happens is a plain white frame (background colour of the theme)
and no keyboard or mouse input seems to be accepted.

I managed to trigger this situation again this morning while working.
Unfortunately I was unable to trigger it while it was being debugged
in gdb; the problem occurs rarely so it's not easy to reproduce on
demand.
I tried sending a SIGUSR2 signal to the running process multiple times
but this did not appear to have any effect.
I again attached to the running process with gdb and ran "thread apply
all bt" as instructed, here's the output: -

I tried using the "finish" gdb command from this point and here is
what happened: -
(gdb) finish

(gdb) finish
Run till exit from #0 0x00007f11ec48143a in XIfEvent () from
/usr/lib/libX11.so.6
(at this point the "finish" command does not return).
I hope that helps. I will try to reproduce the problem while running
in gdb and I will send an update if I'm successful.
Kind regards,
