Launching the server crashes consistently - Rolling back the save to a version from 2 days ago loads correctly

First instance of the error was after updating the server from Rocky Linux 8.5 to 9.2, to update glibc from 2.28 to 2.34 - issue sporadically reoccurs, but last time I had a recent backup

Logfile: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/h4kpz6af ... xr7eq&dl=0

Not loading save: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/p60v2dh1 ... 1uu55&dl=0

Working save, on the offchance it's helpful: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/ulumi0s7 ... o60hf&dl=0

Quickly tested, issue still occurs in 1.1.96 so updated title accordingly.

Also, here's a memory dump: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/gtruckog ... cz1bf&dl=0

Save seems to be corrupted, if you are able to reliably corrupt a working save, post exact steps that do please.

I was able to reliably trigger
1) a crash on saving
2) a crash on loading which I believe is related

Steps to reproduce:
1) Load the save https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/3v2ssz24 ... 4ms65&dl=0
2) Take the Space Elevator to Nauvis Orbit (north of spawn)
3) Walk south, out of the "room" by the elevator
4) Save the game.
This should trigger a crash - this is the error log I got when trying it (and the dump)
If this doesn't trigger a crash, you may need to take the equipment from my character (Speshkitty) and try save in orbit again
5) Attempt to load the .tmp save created. This should also trigger a crash - this is the error log I got when trying it (and the dump)

Thanks for the detailed reproduction steps. The issue is now fixed for the next release.

This specific error has been plaguing the crash logs for quite a while so it's nice to finally have it fixed.
