GDB log of 'bt full' command

I have a cog instance running our application where we display webcam footage in the browser window and allow the user to take a picture.

wpewebkit: 2.38.6
os: buildroot 85a9a3f0e644556b0cd8f2126c6efa5d32695704

A few seconds after capturing the image we experience a crash that seems localized to this location: https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/wpewebkit-2.38.6/Source/WebCore/platform/graphics/gstreamer/VideoFrameMetadataGStreamer.cpp#L126 The crash isn't very elusive, at the moment it happens every time I try.

I've rebuilt with debug symbols and got a core dump, which allowed me to log the full backtrace (attached)

A few things happen after the crash, I'll include whatever details I can here

When I watch `journalctl -f` I see kernel messages and messages from cog

No reply, so I assume this is no longer an issue? Feel free to re-open if it's the case after testing this commit.
