Hi Bernhard and thanks for the follow up.
I've not had anymore segfaults since reporting this issue last year.
I'd still go for the hypothesis of it being a xfce related issue which I
linked too before:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=934105
This can be alleviated by installing packages without xfce running or by
repackaging pre-built packages and removing .desktop files within those
packages.
For me, this is certainly not a linux-image-amd64 bug.
Cheers
Paul.

Hello Paul,
is it possible to install the package systemd-coredump on
the systems showing this crash?
Then after the next crash in the output of 'journalctl --no-pager'
should the segfault appear followed by a backtrace
that you could forward to this bug.
This should clarify which function calls lead to the crash.
More information on improving that information additionally
are here: https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace
Kind regards,
Bernhard
