Bug#934660: gdm3: "System can't recover" due to integer parameter out of range for operation

[Pedro Terra]

Package: gdm3
Version: 3.30.2-3
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable

Dear Maintainer,

   * What led up to the situation?

Booting with kernel linux-image-5.2.0-2-amd64

   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
     ineffective)?

Booting with linux-image-4.19.0-5-amd64 works great.

This happend in my desktop and also my notebook.
Both uses nvidia driver (and not nouveau).
nvidia-driver/unstable,now 418.74-1 amd64 [installed]
Please, let me know if I should report this to the kernel
package instead.

   * What was the outcome of this action?

When I boot with kernel linux-image-5.2.0-2-amd64, I get the screen:

"Oh no! Something has gone wrong.
A problem has occurred and the system can't recover.
Please log out and try again."

And clicking in the logout button leads to a tty console (that
doesn't really work, I had to hit Alt+F3 to get a console).

When I look at journalctl I see these:

   * What outcome did you expect instead?

I expected the gdm login GUI screen and not the "Oh no" screen after booting.
