Appears frequently in my journalctl logs.
Adresses in ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 are always the same.

The way I could somehow reproduce it was running an application with wine.
(Unigine Superposition Benchmark Windows Version dx11 1080p Extreme).

Research direction

The payload names no source file or test. Start by reproducing the nvidia-modprobe coredump with the stated Wine workload and inspecting journalctl output on the listed Linux, kernel, and driver setup; done means the recurring coredump is no longer observed under that reproduction.
