I didn't.

Which graphic card and graphic driver do you use?  I guess it may be a driver
issue.

And can you load the coredump file into GDB?  (On systemd) try:

coredumpctl -1 gdb
(gdb) bt

to generate a stack backtrace.

Xorg.0.log may also help.  It's a SIGABRT (not SIGSEGV) so some information
causing the crash may be logged.
