Kodi 18.3

I had to remove a lot of duplicated lines in the crashlog (total size was 8.4Mb) as pastebin would not accept it.

The last change I made was to refresh the channels on mythtv, seems likely this has something to do with it.  As it had been working without problem since 18 installed.
Is it possible to startup without pvr.mythtv? (as I cannot get kodi to start to disable it).

Not sure what else might be useful.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks Derek
Saw the same with Kodi 18.3 on Arch since this morning (no updates/changes overnight AFAIK). The debug log showed that it started happening as soon as the first result from the TVDB metadata scraper came in.
Deleting ~/.kodi/addons/metadata.tvdb.com fixed the segfault for me, but has some downsides of course...
Yep, TVDB scraper is causing segfault in curl every scan for me here since today too, on Ubuntu 18.04.2, Kodi 2:18.3+git20190621.1610-final-0bionic:

ETA: You can work around the segfault at start by disabling scanning on startup, edit ~/.kodi/userdata/guisettings.xml find videolibrary.updateonstartup and set it to false .  That won't stop you crashing if you have anything else that triggers a scan, but will at least let you get booted so you can disable the add-on or whatever in the short term.
Thanks people for quick solution, disable scanning.
