RetroArch crashes using Vulkan when fast forward or second launch with hardware-based cores

Is there an existing issue for this?

• This is a bug in RetroArch frontend
• I have searched the existing issues

Description

General System Information: x86_64 machines, running Ubuntu-based distributions as the operational system. AppImage release of RetroArch v1.20.0. Video driver selected as vulkan. Cores fully updated by the date of this report.

---

Some specific actions make RetroArch crash, which materializes as the application suddenly and promptly closing, as if it was forcibly closed through a task manager. That behavior tends to happen with many hardware-based cores, listed below.
