I build emacs locally on my machine (on emacs-26 branch now) and that works fine.
But I got my company CAD to install the latest stable emacs 25.3 and that is segfaulting as soon as I start.
Here is the backtrace:
Thread 1 "emacs" received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.

I cannot understand the backtrace, but I see modeline in there..
My mode line looks like this (picture attached):
Though, it worked fine on emacs-26 (and earlier when we were on emacs 25.x versions).
I see that the company CAD built emacs is without libotf and imagemagick. Does this backtrace have anything to do with that?
Thanks.
