There was a cache clear just before:

This is actually a lifetime issue within riscos/save.c

this front end saves the hlcache handle in ro_gui_save_set_state() without incrementing its reference count so when a cache clear throws away the "unused" object there is still a reference in the gui_save_content variable which is no longer viable and immediately leads to using freed memory and a crash
