Hi all,

I've recently updated my Racket to v8.8 everywhere. When I now try to 
run racket on Guix, it crashes with the following error message:

$ racket
munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer
Aborted

Both the `racket` on my WSL, as well as the `raco` and `drracket` 
commands on Guix work fine. (As well as the Racket v8.7 on

I haven't further investigated it, so I don't have a guess whether it 
might be wrong packaging or wrong assumptions about the env it runs in 
from the Racket side.

Hope this helps :)
Beat

Hi,

I've run into the same problem and found out it does not occur when I run it 
as an executable file (relative or abs. path works). Never seen anything like it and 
I don't know if I care enough to dig deeper into this issue
 (there are more problems with racket pkg in guix than this unfortunately) but
 someone might find it interesting...
 
user <at> mypc ~# racket
free(): invalid pointer
Aborted

user <at> mypc ~$ which racket
/run/current-system/profile/bin/racket

user <at> mypc ~$ /run/current-system/profile/bin/racket
Welcome to Racket v8.8 [cs].

Cheers,
George
