For reference, the attached assert is a SIGSEGV in libdbus-1.so.3.5.8 and the crash*.dmp are DUMP_REQUESTED in crashhandler.so.
I had something that might be related. Came home from work to find my root partition was full and the culprit was /tmp/dumps/USERNAME_stdout.log
Some interesting stuff up top and then 400GB of just

Lemme know if you want dumps/logs. I've installed all Ubuntu updates and rebooted a few times; I'm always getting a crash dump upon launching Steam.
Happened again.
It still happens.
Fwiw , i didn't experience the issue since update arrived at April 2.

Fixed dbus assertion and possible crash at startup
Thanks @Leopard1907 - the fix is in Steam Beta client and not available in production yet. I am keeping this issue open until fully released.
I've just experienced the problem by starting steam-runtime on Arch Linux. (twice in a row)
Then started with steam-native and didn't have the issue. Started steam-runtime once more, no issue anymore either.
Not using the steam beta client. System specs.
I'm experiencing this same problem since some days on Manjaro.
I'm using the regular Steam client, not the Beta. Version build: 4 apr 2020, Steam package version: 1586022601
The issue is completely random, I don't have found a way to trigger it.
Closing as fixed in the 2020-04-28 Steam client update.
Nothing extracted yet.
