Just confirming that issue seems to be in jackd or libjack itself starting in the 20190713 snapshot. I have similar issues with or without qjackctl. Jackd seems to start OK, but any client trying to connect segfaults. The partial gdb trace below shows from jackd server side. The first "Broken pipe" is from when "a2jmidid" trys to connect, the second two are from when "hydrogen" tries to connect. Let me know if can help isolate this.
