FreeCAD Crashes after Launch

[freenico]

Hello everyone,
I was opening a new post when I finally found this (after searching for: freecad0.20 crashing on startup, freecad crashing on opening, freecad crashing - I had to change opening to launching and voila'! ).

I am not sure whether this thread has been given further attention however, freecad0.19 and now 0.20, have been crashing immediately on launching also on slackware current.

I don't think I have any ASCII issues and always have installed the latest libraries for slackware.

With freecad 0.19 the crash would happen about 3-5 times before getting the lucky shot. Now, I am running the freecad 0.20 appimage and it's almost a 15min trying (even up to 20 attempts). Something that never happened on 0.19 was the complete full-red screen (sometimes yellow).
