Short description of error
Blender crashes when opening a blend file that links a collection which also links a collection.
Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
In the appendix you find 3 blend files:
To reproduce this behavior with new blend files:
I will use some placeholder names for easier reading:
Side note: Blender also crashes when you have a new empty blend file and try to link the "shot" collection from shot.blend.
tree.blend
shot.blend
beach.blend

after a little bit of testing, the issue seems located in the beach collection when linked into another file, even a fresh new one. Simulating such a simple scenario with new files, a cube and a plane, the nested linking appears to work, even when linking in the tree collection. The beach collection, instead, can be linked, but saving and reopening the new shot file let's Blender crash. You might try to rebuild that collection/set in a new file, and link that new one inside your shot file.
Hey Ricardo,
thanks for your answer. I tested the same thing again with just a cube and a plane and I get the same result:
I made a quick screen record to show you my exact process to create the crash. You find it in the appendix.
What is interesting:
I also supplied another 3 blend files:
2021-02-02_09-34-26_blender_link_bug.mp4
forest.blend
stone.blend
shot_02.blend
I found another strange behavior:
When trying to open shot_02.blend blender crashes.
But when I do the following BEFORE opening shot_02.blend I can open it:
When I then close blender and open again and try to load shot_02.blend I get a crash again.

Hi Paul, I simply verified that your issue was replicable with and without your sample files. At this point it's better to leave this into the good hands of the developers for further investigations.
Hey Riccardo,
thanks for verifying and for handing it over to the developers! :)

This makes me suspect that the file is not simplified enough to be suitable for a bug report.
Due to the number of reports, we try to avoid confirming reports whose scenario is too time consuming for the developers to track down, we require the bug reporter to narrow down the problem.
It may be more convenient to create another report describing only the essential steps to reproduce the bug.

I can confirm a crash.
There seems to be a fix in
blender-2.93.0-4604350eefab
from todays buildbot https://builder.blender.org/download/blender-2.92.0rc-linux64
still crashes though.Will try to see what fixed this (and if that commit can still go into 2.92)
Apparently this was fixed by

in 2.93Hey Philip, thanks for confirming! Good to see that there is a fix for this in 2.93. I will test it next week. Would be great to have a patch in 2.92 for this. I think 2.91 also has this issue.
I can confirm.
While I can't open the
shot.blend
file I supplied in this report with:b1142858d4
5be9ef4177
with 2.93.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-02-20 05:19, hash:

it works without a problem.Changed status from 'Confirmed' to: 'Resolved'
Added subscriber: @mont29
So, since this is fixed in 2.93, I will close this.
Fix will not be in 2.92 though, see comment in 302625eb37:
