This looks like memory corruption. Are there any steps you can follow that
make this crash more likely to happen?

> Maybe the list of my extensions is helpful:

We cannot really support gnome-shell when used with third-party extensions:
extensions have complete control over the Shell process, and extension bugs
can easily cause a crash like this.

Does this crash still happen if you disable all extensions? If not,
then it could be an extension bug. If you disable all extensions and
then gradually re-enable them, you might be able to narrow down which
extension triggers it.
