Hello, after a guix pull yesterday, I did a guix system reconfigure and a home reconfigure. After rebooting, I have this problem where after logging in to Gnome desktop, the gnome shell will crash with a meaningless error message "something went wrong" and then drop me back to GDM. The crash is not immediate but can take 1-2 minutes before it occurs. I am able to use the virtual console still, but Gnome desktop is rendered useless. I can use the guix roll-back functionality to go back to my previous system and home configuration and everything works again.

After the crash occurs, I can look at the output of dmesg and see that there are segfaults occuring in various services. I have attached the dmesg output.
