Reproduction steps
Playback any video using the ASS subtitle file attached and --no-config argument.
Based on testing the usage of \frx45 for slanted text, \move for moving text, and a custom style together is the cause of this issue.
Expected behavior
Player should render moving, slanted, & styled subtitles and not crash.
Actual behavior
The playback stutters to a halt and eventually crashes while trying to render subtitles.
It can be worked around by seeking past the timestamp of the problematic subtitle.

Start by reproducing playback on Windows with the supplied ASS subtitle and --no-config, then inspect the linked log for the subtitle-rendering failure. Confirm that the moving, slanted, styled text no longer stutters or crashes, while using seeking past the subtitle as a comparison.
