It doesn't crash here, ad without the backtrace it's hard to do
anything with this.

Can you try building the latest emacs-26 branch of the Emacs Git
repository, and see if the problem happens there as well?

Failing that, we'd need a backtrace to start looking into this.
Perhaps download and install debug data package for your Emacs
distribution, or build yourself without stripping the binary.  Then
repeat the recipe under GDB.

Thanks.
