Best Answer

The crash is in OpenThreads::Mutex::lock()
When I look at https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/569847/multithreaded-graphics-app-intermittent-deadlock-with-quadro-fx3800-driver-319-32-libgl-so-1-impl/ I see that there were some reports of crashes in some NVIDIA driver versions related to that.
I notice that your Linux driver version is out of date. You have 387.26. The current version is 410.78. Upgrading might help.
