Segfault with subleveldown

See original GitHub issue

Disclaimer: this is almost definitely my fault. I’m completely unfamiliar with leveldown and I’m probably doing everything wrong.

With that out of the way, I have a reproducible segfault while using subleveldown that’s highly correlated with open/close events.

git clone https://github.com/flumedb/flumeview-level
cd flumeview-level
git checkout -b sub
git pull origin sub
npm ci
node test/read.js

Here’s the output:

Please let me know if there’s anything else I can do to help debug this. Thanks a lot! I’ve been really enjoying my experience with leveldown so far.

OK. FYI, it might take some time for us to find a proper fix for the subleveldown bug. Also, don’t use that #open-close-hack branch for anything other than tests 😉

Sorry, I mean that I’ve also been unable to write a minimal test case. You can still use these instructions but I haven’t had the time to whittle it down any further.
