Hello Yiannis,

This bug is fixed in the 4.0 branch and will be part of the next 4.0
release. I don't know when it will be released.

A possible workaround to avoid the crash:

    sub vcl_pipe {
        if (!std.healthy(bereq.backend)) {
            return (synth(500));
        }
    }

I haven't actually tested the code, but not proceeding with no healthy
backend should avoid crashing.

Best Regards,
Dridi
