That's good news, it confirms memory leak in libsmbios causing the fwupd crash is fixed.

The reason for the memory leak however the error string related to libsmbios failing to initialize.
So I'm pretty sure that remaining problem with the dell plugin is this: https://github.com/dell/libsmbios/issues/24
That's the last blocking issue for a new libsmbios release.

libsmbios itself has an extra debug output that it can activate though to confirm that's the problem.

Can you run this?
# sudo LIBSMBIOS_C_DEBUG_OUTPUT_ALL=1 /usr/lib/fwupd/fwupd -v
