When evaluating the following codeblock with babel from org-mode:

Emacs closes abruptly and displays a "Segmentation fault" error:

The expected behavior was no fault whatsoever. The error seems to
depend on the webpage, presumably because of the text content.

I am using Debian Jessie 8.5. The only configuration in my .emacs file is:

To allow codeblock evaluation.

Did you happen to (or could you) test in a console emacs i.e. from
"emacs -nw"?  I suspect that might avoid the crash, but it'd be nice to
know.

And in case this is a transient content issue, it might also be helpful
if you could attach an out.html that causes the crash.

Thanks

I just tested from X as the vagrant user on a fresh, updated
debian/jessie64 (8.5) vagrant box after (roughly):

  vagrant init debian/jessie64
  vagrant up
  vagrant ssh
  sudo su -
  apt update
  apt install emacs xinit xterm xmonad xinput
  exit

Using the .emacs you posted, and didn't see a crash.  I wonder what else
might be relevant.

Thanks

I tested with -nw and it does not crash. After that I opened the file
with the GUI and it instantly crashed (the results of the codeblock
execution were now displayed on the file, since it was successfully
evaluated when using -nw). The contents are quite large. I am attaching
the problematic file.

I noticed that if I open the file with emacs' GUI in a small window,
such that the problematic text is not displayed, emacs does not crash.
Emacs only crashes when it attempts to display the text. I tried opening
the file with another graphical application (namely Iceweasel) and it
did not crash.

I was unable to reproduce this.
If it still happens with Emacs 27.1, I encourage you to send a complete, minimal example to the Emacs developers using M-x report-emacs-bug.
