Research direction

Start by reproducing the SIGSEGV when launching darktable 5.5.0.r1124.gb8a2ee3529-1 on the reported Arch Linux and NVIDIA/OpenCL setup, using the attached backtrace as the first diagnostic source. Compare normal startup with --configdir "/tmp" and verify that darktable opens successfully without the crash once the cause is addressed.
