Version 4.4.0+ causes this runtime error: Uncaught ReferenceError: can't access lexical declaration 'Buffer' before initialization

See original GitHub issue

My application builds and runs fine with 4.3.0, but after upgrading to 4.4.0, I now receive this error in the javascript console:

Uncaught ReferenceError: can't access lexical declaration 'Buffer' before initialization

My app is written in Svelte using TypeScript and Vite (or Snowpack - they both fail with the same error) to build to the final deployable version.

Happy to provide as much detail as you think is valuable. If I’m doing something obviously wrong, please let me know.

Thanks for the library, btw - I really love using it with d3 for data transformation!

I’ve reverted to Apache Arrow v3.0.0 in v4.6.0. We can update the dependency once a fixed version of Arrow is released.
