Given that this appears to be memory corruption, what we really need is
enough information to *reproduce* the problem as a core dump is likely to
only show that memory has been corrupted without giving us any hints to why.

If someone is able to reproduce this at will and wants to try running
plymouth under valgrind for us, that could be helpful.
