Hi,

Several points:

1. Such errors are really difficult to give any meaningful suggestions
unless they are reproducable with official builds (like Blender). There are
lots of possibilities here starting from real issue in the code ending with
wrongly compiled dependencies.

2. There are fixes which were synchronized to standalone repo this morning
which solves some known crashes in subd code.

3. If that's recently introduced error you can easily isect the sources and
find out a buggy commit, so we can have a closer look on it.
