Sounds like another case of bug#24358, see

  https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=24358#41

and the following discussion.  Your OS is also the same as reported
there, which increases the probability of this being the same issue.

If you ever succeed in getting meaningful data about the crash, or
some way of reproducing it, please post to 24358@debbugs.gnu.org.
