[ruby-core:103695] [Ruby master Bug#17843] Ruby on Rails error[BUG] Segmentation fault at 0x0000000000000110 ruby 3.0.1p64 (2021-04-05 revision 0fb782ee38) [x86_64-darwin15] (#42110)

Issue #17843 has been updated by alanwu (Alan Wu).


Apologies about my misleading statement about support for the OS.
It doesn't seem to be receiving security updates anymore so I had assumed it reached end of life.

Looking at the report, the crash happens after fork.
There was a Ruby crash in the [past](https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/13646) that happens when calling `getaddrinfo()` in the fork child.
I sent Apple a bug report and they closed it as a duplicate, so I take it that they agree it's a bug in their system library. All they told me is that the bug I submitted is a duplicate with bug id 50511049 in their internal bug tracking system to which I have no access. They fixed the bug a few OS updates down the line.

Similar to this crash, that crash happens in `libdispatch`. Anecdotally, it seems that macOS's support for fork without exec isn't great, especially in older versions. I wouldn't be surprised if this is another system library problem.


A possible workaround for the crash might be running `bin/spring stop` and prefixing the `rails g` command with `DISABLE_SPRING=1 `. This should avoid forking the Ruby process.

In any case, I still recommend upgrading to a newer OS.
