Bug Description
After a recent "apt upgrade", for about 4 days gnome-shell crashes every time I lock/unlock my screen. Disabling the screen lock lets me run X and Wayland sessions with GNOME indefinitely. Manually locking my screen or letting it lock automatically causes gnome-shell to crash when I try to unlock it. When it crashes, it hangs for a long time without updating the mouse cursor (probably writing the large core dump), then finally dies and the window system restarts and I can log in.
I've disabled all GNOME extensions and tried some other configuration changes but I can't find a work-around except to avoid the lock screen.

apport doesn't ever successfully upload the full crash dump. It always gets an HTTP 503 at the end, which I figure is the server timing out from the 1 GB core dump upload. I can provide a backtrace, thread dump, or other info from the dump if it would be helpful.
