When I took a closer look, it appears that PR 172942 was a different crash and
it appears that one was fixed via r264600.

Your problem does not appear to be in the bugs database. (I will commit the
patch in mid-November anyhow, but creating a PR for this might be useful for
others.)

Btw, I think the attached patch (which includes this change) also fixes a
problem that caused a crash during mounting, reported via PR 201912.
(If you`d like to test this one that would be appreciated. It should be
 applied to code not already patched with the one below, since the below
 patch is included in it.)

Thanks for your help with this, rick
