No, I mean the Lisp object (a symbol) that specifies the
coding-system.  In this crash, it's in frame #4:

> #4  0x000000000048ac28 in code_convert_string (string=185324785,
>     coding_system=12118818, dst_object=11763538, encodep=1,

Use "p coding_system" followed by "xsymbol".

Also, can you show the value of x_error_message->string?  That seems
to be the immediate cause of the crash, because Emacs aborts here:

  if (x_catching_errors ())
    abort ();
