I also experience this crash. I don't have global app menu installed but for me the crash occurs when the following line of code is being executed in the Freon shell extension: https://github.com/UshakovVasilii/gnome-shell-extension-freon/blob/f9756b2430b3766c3d21d71e9928963032617bf7/freon%40UshakovVasilii_Github.yahoo.com/extension.js#L360

I've attached a valgrind log of the crash occurring. There is a whole lot of seemingly related bad memory access before the crash occurs.

For me it happens sometimes immediately after logging in, but before the shell successfully loads. I assume it only happens if the Freon extension is installed. I'm on version 29 of the freon shell extension.
