Thank you for your report.

First, please try Emacs 28.1 if you can.  Emacs 27 is no longer being
developed.

And second, to be able to do something useful with this information,
we need a backtrace from the crash, preferably in GDB or some other
similar debugger.  The backtrace will show us where is the code which
crashes, and perhaps give us ideas why that happens and how to fix
that.  Without this information, we have no lead to investigate.
