I understand this specific problem may be with relatively new code, but I'm submitting this anyway, as it would take a while to find.
The device is SpaceNavigator for Notebooks through spacenavd, r39040

Procedure to recreate: Skip starred steps:
1. Open File->User Preferences
2. go to the Input tab
3. Open the 3D View tree node
4. Open the 3D View (Global) tree node
5. Click Edit on the 3D View section
6. Scroll down to these two items:
NDOF Pan View | NDOF | Shift
View Selected | NDOF | Fit
*7. Uncheck the second item of the two (View Selected)
8. Open the first item of the two (NDOF Pan View)
9. Reassign shift to be Fit (right spacenav button)
10. Change the click type to be Press (or anything other than blank)
11. Get to a 3d view editor
12. Press the right spacenav button (Fit)

Now that this bug is reported, I will try to fix it myself (I'm new so don't depend on this) and test some more to see how much I can change the steps and still have it crash.
You may not skip step 10, and it crashes with any setting (Any, Press, Release, Click, Double Click). Double Click crashes on the second release.
If nothing else, please confirm/<antonym of confirm> this crash.

I have attached a picture of the relevant part of the preferences and exported the key configuration.
The rest of this is just various info.

I have an unrelated patch applied from [#26766] Grid Floors for Other Dimensions

This is what it says on the command line:
