This should be analyzed, but I don't have spare cycles for it so I put it on the teams backlog.
Since it is there at low prio this isn't a guarantee for anything, but a slight bump of chances to get re-reviewed when there might be time.

It seems to crash this call:
bx_gui->get_capabilities(&max_xres, &max_yres, &max_bpp)

Which must be bx_gui on a null or otherwise invalid pointer.
This is initialized on load_and_init_display_lib

I don#t see where from the stack trace, but it seems to me that something kills this global var and due to that the next access to it fails.

I haven't found an upstream issue about it, without a reproduce there is not too much we can do atm.
