I don't know how to do that

I don't know your level of technical know-how, but the generated output would probably be overwhelming for a regular user. This will require that you have Entware installed and configured.

The short explanation is:

1) Install strace ( opkg install strace)
2) Retrieve the process ID of dnsmasq (by running ps w | grep dnsmasq)
3) Attach strace to the process with the admin user: strace -p 4613 (replace 4613 with the process ID of dnsmasq)
4) Reproduce the problem
5) See if the strace output mentions any file that was accessed before the crash

If nothing useful appears, try with the nobody process.

OK - my tech level is fairly good, I used to write network management s/w for big custom comms networks, BUT I retired about 15 years ago, so I'm pretty rusty and need a bit of 'hand-holding' nowadays.

So, I installed strace, ran it as you described and pulled the WAN connection.
strace output as follows.

Code: 
ps | grep dns
22443 nobody    2776 S    dnsmasq --log-async
22444 RT-AC86U  2752 S    dnsmasq --log-async


strace -p 22444

close(3)                                = 0

sigreturn({mask=[]})                    = 27347
read(16, "", 112)                       = 0
exit_group(0)                           = ?
+++ exited with 0 +++

Note that in this case, the watchdog restarted the dnsmasq process shortly after.

Please repeat it, using the process ID belonging to “nobody”.

OK, a lot more output this time, had to split it into two messages.
once again dnsmasq was restarted by watchdog.

Code: 
ps | grep dns
26285 RT-AC86U  4768 S    grep dns
27989 nobody    2776 S    dnsmasq --log-async

Thanks. I’m surprised that it ends much the same way as the syslog (logs the message, then dies). Will have to think about it. Consider joining the dnsmasq-discuss mailing list and sharing the output with the author.
 
Another idea to try is to comment out the entry pointing to the empty file:
Code: 
# dhcp-optsfile=/jffs/addons/YazDHCP.d/.optionslist
 
Another way to test:
Code: 
service stop_dnsmasq; dnsmasq -d --log-debug --log-async
Then perform the disconnect or SIGHUP test in another window. See if a core file is generated when it dies, or any interesting log messages show up in debug mode.

I don't think that works, all that happens is that the watchdog restarts dnsmasq without the debug flags straight away.

I wasn't able to reproduce the fault with that running.
dnsmasq didn't crash when I unplugged the WAN connection.

Was this with the dhcp-optsfile option removed from the config file as suggested by Dave, or with the original file?

Does using killall -SIGHUP dnsmasq still cause the crash?

I didn't try it with the dhcp-optsfile option removed, didn't see that post.

BUT, I just ran the
Code: 
killall dnsmasq; dnsmasq -d --log-debug --log-async
command and did
Code: 
killall -SIGHUP dnsmasq
from another terminal and this happened.

Code: 
dnsmasq-dhcp: DHCPREQUEST(br0) 192.168.1.11 dc:a6:32:6d:62:7a
dnsmasq-dhcp: DHCPACK(br0) 192.168.1.11 dc:a6:32:6d:62:7a Raspi-4B
dnsmasq: read /etc/hosts - 24 names
dnsmasq: read /jffs/addons/YazDHCP.d/.hostnames - 34 names
Segmentation fault

Is there a core file in the current directory?
 
If I recall, Asus disables core dumps for obvious reasons (no persistent storage, limited flash storage space, etc...)
