Silent R core dumps caused by atom-ide-r or r-languageserver on Linux

[hermidalc]

I cannot tell what is causing it, but either atom-ide-r or r-languageserver, or both, are causing silent R core dumps when using Atom with these plugins on Linux. It didn't used to do this. I see the core dumps when I'm using Atom with an R file open under /var/lib/systemd/coredump. It happens when I have R files open within or outside a git repo and can have enough silent core dumps and restarts that Atom eventually give a message that the plugin reached the restart limit.

How do I figure out what is causing this?
