Expected behavior

Not a segmentation fault ;-)

Additional information

I have a gut feel this will come good with reboot. In short, I have recollection of it happening before and finding that. I'm on 24/7 box though and rebooting is not a simple thing, so not tried it this time yet. In part because it's not a relevant qualifier of bug status (it's a bug regardless) but might point to a cause (put it in the camp of configs). So if it's helpful an amateurishly redacted env:

As stated above, it's a 24/7 box with rare restarts, but executed one recently, noted xreader is working now, and so took an env snapshot and compared it with diff -y to get:

In case that helps.

I'm getting the same problem on 21.3. Although I prefer xreader, it was easier to remove it and use evince instead.
