Broken: version: 2.93.0 Alpha, branch: master, commit date: 2021-02-10 12:30, hash: d9eeb7840f
Worked: unknown

Short description of error
If a file is rendered headless (e.g. on a render farm) the Grease Pencil stroke object causes it to abort because it cannot find a display. Even if render engine is set to Cycles.
This happened in the Blender Studio renderfarm and fortunately Dr. Sybren was kind enough to help me find the relevant commit: https://developer.blender.org/rB2069b3b888db7ca448317218d3d42234b7fa77eb.

example file: stroke_render_commandline.blend

Rendering this on my local machine with:

env DISPLAY='' <path/to/blender>  -b <path/to/file>  -a

Since the Grease Pencil needs an OpenGL context to work properly, this problem seems to be related to #85336 (Blender crashes when rendering from the command line without display or remote display)
