This is bug #90944 from 2004 reintroduced in Plasma 5. I'm not sure if I should open a new ticket for this, but as I couldn't change the status of the old ticket back to open, I'm just reporting it as new. The exact code posted by Billy Biggs in 2004 crashes KWin 5.3.2 again. See ticket #90944 https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=90944 and https://sourceforge.net/p/bonkenc/bugs/104/ for reference. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Compile the code posted in ticket #90944. 2. Run it. 3. Watch KWin crash and hang up the desktop. Actual Results: KWin crashes and hangs the Plasma desktop. Expected Results: Invalid data should be ignored.
bug #350173 ? => backtrace, we always want to see backtraces ;-P
Yes, this seems to be the same as bug #350173 I'll check again once kwindowsystem 5.13 packages are available for Arch Linux. Thanks!

Thanks for the update. Pre-emptively duping then - please re-open the bug in case it's not fixed by that patch. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 350173 ***
Just confirmed, kwindowsystem 5.13 indeed fixes this bug.
