[BUG] vrcompositor segfault
Happens every time I attempt to start SteamVR. It seems to run for about 1-2 seconds, then crashes. The small frame timing window in the vrmonitor ui is completely filled with pink for that 1-2 seconds.
Archlinux mesa 23.0.3 on rx 6900 xt SteamVR stable and beta kwin_wayland 5.27.5

Not sure if related or not - sometimes this causes kwin_wayland to freeze, which seems to be associated with amdgpu page faults: pagefault.txt I mention it because vrcompositor is named as the culprit for the page fault.
Maybe I should also mention this is on Linux 6.3.1-zen1
I found out that if I close the vrmonitor window first time when it's outputting pink frames, before computer freezes, then start SteamVR again and it works every time. This workaround is reproducible with my PC at least, I haven't used the GPU driver patch mentioned in other issues.
