Ubuntu-specific modifications to accountsservice (in patch file debian/patches/0010-set-language.patch) caused the fallbacklocale variable, pointing to static storage, to be freed, in the userchangelanguageauthorized_cb function. This is reachable via the SetLanguage dbus function. This is fixed in versions 0.6.55-0ubuntu12~20.04.5, 0.6.55-0ubuntu13.3, 0.6.55-0ubuntu14.1.
