Thanks. I think this is a Qt 5 issue. I am able to produce a similar backtrace
with the following example program [1]:

$ cat main.cpp
#include <QApplication>
#include <QGraphicsScene>
#include <QGraphicsView>

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
  QApplication app(argc, argv);

  QGraphicsScene scene;
  scene.setSceneRect(-100.0, -100.0, 200.0, 200.0);
  scene.addText("Hello, world!");

  QGraphicsView view(&scene);
  view.setRenderHints(QPainter::Antialiasing);
  view.show();

  return app.exec();
}

$ cat CMakeLists.txt
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.11)
project(testproject)

set(CMAKE_INCLUDE_CURRENT_DIR ON)
set(CMAKE_AUTOMOC ON)

find_package(Qt5Widgets)

add_executable(helloworld main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(helloworld Qt5::Widgets)


Can you confirm that this example also crashes for you?

Cheers

[1] I don't have docking station, but waking up from suspend triggers the same
code path. Interestingly enough it only happens if I close the lid and not if
the manually trigger a suspend.
