It might be a problem in the test, but a segmentation fault could be a
signal of something more serious in the core on in the bindings.

>From the build history, this particular test does not seem to be randomly
failing but consistently failing since b32a719
<https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/commit/b32a719798917611c0a30bd044e55ac7ce4e423b>
, even if you reverted that single commit with no changes in the failure,
that does not imply that the test was broken.

Note that the test itself is passing.


Kind regards
