2 months ago I'm able to reproduce this with the latest release binary running in Lutris (via Flatpak on MicroOS), specifically in the case of the Enclave guy on the Poseidon Oil computer. Consistently crashes when picking "President?", with similar log output:

Also noticed a similar crash when talking to Sulik about his equipment after recruiting him, but chalked it up to a fluke so I didn't manage to grab logs for that crash.
EDIT: I can also confirm that PR #347 fixes the crash.
These are relatively rare - I can chat with both talking heads in question quite a lot, but specific dialogue options will reproducibly crash.
Running gog data files with a binary compiled from source on Linux Mint 21.2, patched with that

DEBUGACTIVE=logoutputs the following to the log after loading and activating the computer:Second one - Broken Hills, Marcus. Do the francis/jacob conspiracy quest far enough, and find the missing people in the underground. Report one of them to Marcus, then when you try to report the other, crash. Similar log, last entry a "Choosing fidget".
Note - with Fallout 1 CE and the Tandi dialogue there's similar crashes - it's actually impossible to exhaust her dialogue without crashing, using the release binary. Compiled from source, however, there's not a single crash in any talking head dialogue in the entire game. Seems like something similar was already fixed in fo-ce-1, but since most files have no blame history (I suspect gdialog.cc in fo1, game_dialog.cc in fo2), no blindly migrating some diff...
