Android sometimes crashes while in background with a SIGSEGV error

[reyalpsirc]

Library version: 9.6.1

We have a launched application which uses the react-native version linked with the 9.6.1 version of this library and we have been seeing reports of Android crashes while the App was in use in background.
Our App uses GPS while in background to track user exercises and so, it needs to keep updating the map in the background (to keep updating the user path).

After symbolicating the crash, this is what shows up on Bugsnag:

SIGSEGV Segmentation violation (invalid memory reference) 
	libmapbox-gl std::__ndk1::basic_string<char, std::__ndk1::char_traits<char>, std::__ndk1::allocator<char> >::basic_string(std::__ndk1::basic_string<char, std::__ndk1::char_traits<char>, std::__ndk1::allocator<char> > const&)

How can we fix this or bypass this?
