tcp        0      0 192.168.53.2:41316      104.236.250.71:80  TIME_WAIT

I have a proxy, but Stellarium is not using it so that should not
matter (it's not a transparent proxy so it would be listed in
netstat). Latency to the above server is 60ms.

Network is available.

The crash requires you click on and off the 'Get location from
Network' quickly a few times. My guess is that something related to
handling network requests is deleted in Stellarium that does not get
completed on time. I'd have to recompile Stellarium with debugging
info to get more information, but the crash is very reproduceable for
me.
