Could you describe with more details what actions you last did?
Was it when renaming a layer in the layers dialog? Any copy&paste of text within Inkscape involved? Or copy&paste when editing text in the current layer on-canvas?

Possibly related to
Bug #496793 in Inkscape: “ctrl c ctrl v of text in edit mode crashes inkscape”
(See backtrace attached to comment #19 there, or in duplicate bug #421597).
