Hi Paul,

Thanks for the report! To be very honest, I'm not sure how actionable it 
is though :-/

The most obvious reason for the segfault would have been that somebody has 
freed `view->filename_vpath` without setting it to NULL, but a quick grep 
for `->filename_vpath` doesn't reveal anything suspicious :-(

So this makes me think that maybe something else corrupted the memory 
indirectly, but then I can't see how this can be reasonably investigated 
without a sanitizer like report or even better a reproducer...

Sincerely yours,
