Indeed there were many memory leak and similar fixes that can easily
lead to segfaults between 1.84 (in buster) and 1.87 (in bullseye)

If you'd like, I can provide you with a .deb of the backport, for easier
testing.

Indeed, and I'm not really _that_ interested in doing that work myself,
so if you see that 1.87 doesn't segfaults at most I'd probably upload
1.87 to buster-backports rather than figuring out the proper fix for the
"main" buster release.   Unless somebody can isolate the fix :)
Probably going through the upstream git repository might help with that,
fwiw.
