The crash is due to a quarter rest (measure 40, last staff) which is in a wrong location. It should be in the third staff.

Change this location (with Ctrl + Shift + Up), and the issue is solved.

@Hartmut Janssen Do you remember anything about this measure that could explain why the file arrived in this state?

Ok, understood. So this score: Brahms_-_Gestillte_Sehnsucht.mscz

It contains the sources of the error. The feature of the cross-staff notation was used at some point between the unique staff of the piano and that of the cello (which was copied-pasted I guess from the staff of the piano in F clef). Then, it can go wrong if you create parts, or if you copy and paste elsewhere.
It can be reproduced, for example, like this:

Steps:

1) Create a new piano score (test file: test cross rest.mscz)
2) On the second beat (say an eighth note and its eighth rest), use Ctrl + Shift + Down to switch this second beat to the second staff (the test file at this step: test1 cross rest.mscz )
3) Add a second instrument, say a guitar: test cross rest1.mscz
4) Copy the first measure of the piano (entirely, that is, first and second staff)
5) Paste on the first measure of the guitar

----------------> Crash
