exiting any game causes steam to segfault. Steam client will then not longer start back up until steam is reinstalled

Steps for reproducing this issue:

  1. launch a game
  2. exit a game
  3. Steam becomes completley unlaunchable until after steam client reinstallation.

Valve, please fix.

workaround: i have made a really cursed bash script to completely reinstall steam. takes like 10 minutes to run on my system. so yeah, basically unusable.
