Summary 09187: MAME cannot load any system if "bgfx_screen_chains" settings not are same in both mame.ini and game.cfg
Description Hello.
Thanks for reading my bug report.

Edit the mame.ini in
# BGFX POST-PROCESSING OPTIONS
bgfx_screen_chains

to
bgfx_screen_chains none

Try load a game or system.
After select any BGFX screen effect for example CRT-GEOM. That shader will work in current loaded game system.
Close the game system.
Try restart the previous game system. MAME will crash with message "Segmentation fault (core dumped)".
Need edit mame.ini and remove any value in "bgfx_screen_chains" or delete the game system.cfg.

MAME previous versions ( only tested 0.275) not had that issue being possible in mame.ini "bgfx_screen_chains none" and using an selected different BGFX shader for any game system.
That bug are happening in MAME recent versions.

Have an nice day.

I can't reproduce this. I test that the screen chains setting in the CFG file is applied on every release candidate (it's one of my standard tests). Are you sure it isn't a GPU driver issue?

Unable to replicate this crash in Windows.

Maybe someone with unix can try.
