The crash is in ksh's version of free under job_chksave - the "segment" asked for in regionof() is null.

#define SEG(b)          ((b)->head.head.seg.seg)
#define BLOCK(d)        ((Block_t*)((char*)(d) - sizeof(Head_t)) )

(gdb) ptype Block_t
type = struct _block_s {
    Head_t head;
    Body_t body;
}

(gdb) p ((Block_t *)((char *)addr - sizeof(Head_t)))
$28 = (Block_t *) 0x7f08c1921850

(gdb) p ((Block_t *)((char *)addr - sizeof(Head_t)))->head.head.seg.seg
$30 = (Seg_t *) 0x0

I suspect that this is a kind of double-free that is happening in job_post/job_save.

I found the following BZ's that have very similar backtraces, it could be another manifestation of these problems in the job list code:

This is most likely duplicate of bug #1112306 but as there are no reproducers for either of these bugs, it's hard to say.

Anyway, closing as a duplicate at least for now - until you can reproduce this crash with fixed ksh package referenced in the duplicate bug. If you can do that, feel free to reopen this bug.
