I suspect this crash is related to fonts installed on your system.
(It doesn't crash on my system, FWIW.)  The documentation of this
variable includes a few non-ASCII strings, and I'm guessing Emacs
crashes trying to display one of them.

Unfortunately, your Emacs binary seems to be stripped, so the
backtrace is not useful, and I have no way of confirming my guess.

Could you pls check as Eli has suggested? Otherwise, I don't know how to
continue.

Best regards, Michael.

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi Michael,

thanks for the message!

I don't know why I never saw the response of Eli (never filed a bug 
report before, probably should subscribe to the mailing list...).

*Currently everything is working* :)

I'm on Manjaro and assuming the font-hypothesis is true, an update must 
have fixed it. I tried a quick web-search but could not find anything on 
that. I didn't change the font either.

Best,

Max
