This is very familiar to me. Try this:

1) Boot the computer.
2) Run "systemctl daemon-reexec" as root.
3) Run "dmesg" as root.
4) Look for a pid 1 segfault or a message that says "Freezing execution".

If you see a SIGSEGV, let me know. Note that this problem is *not*
present in the upstream code base.
