Hello @Klairm, these look like some lines of interest from your log:

src/tier1/utlmemory.cpp (307) : Assertion Failed: num >= 0
[...]
munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer

Yes, I seen that when it crashes it always point to that file utlmemory.cpp but the errors are differents, sometimes it's malloc(): unaligned tcache chunk detected or malloc_consolidate(): invalid chunk size and also the one you said, all of this erros have in common that it mentions that file, what could be the problem?
