Additional Information

Versions

I tested the following versions explicitly on Windows 8.1:

Versions which do not work:

• 13.6.1
• 14.2.1
• 15.3.1
• 16.0.0+

Versions which do work:

• 13.6.0
• 14.2.0
• 15.3.0

Additional information

In our bug collection software, this error is collected as EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION_READ: Crash at 0x48.

This segfault can only be reproduced on a Windows 8.1 system or Mac OS High Sierra (at least). We have both tested a VM through Virtualbox (VM downloaded with this) and a Mac OS High Sierra VM through Virtualbox. I think the segfaults are related.

Mac OS Big Sur and above are not affected. We were unable to test Mac OS versions between High Sierra and Big Sur.
Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems are not affected.

minidump

I have collected a minidump of the segfault. You can download it here: crash.zip

I now see that this may be related to #31762. I'll wait until a version with the corresponding fix is available and check if this fully solves the issue.

Indeed related to #31762. Release 16.0.6 fixes the issue for me
