4.2.1 also crashes in Debian testing.  It is also linked with Qt5 (5.9.1 
on my system).  I get crashes when running with the QT libs (starting 
the GUI or using --no-gui) but not with --no-gui-libs.

I do not see the same behavior with the current stable sources.  I'm not 
sure what changed.

Can you test to see whether this problem is also fixed on Fedora with 
the current stable sources?
