Abnormally exit after executed a very simple expression

General Usage
1

Update: After ugrade to 1.4.2 this error disappears.

Following is the original post, which happens under 1.4.1

I’m using Julia 1.4.1 inside a singularity+ubuntu20.04 container

Most of the behaviours are normal, but If I execute following expression

Array(reshape(zeros(Float64, 4,4)', 16))

It will abort imediately.

The error message is as follows

Does any know what is happening?

Works for me on a 1.5 branch, so this will be fixed in the upcoming 1.5 release.

If you want to have the best experience, install Julia the official way using the official downloads. It’s of course possible this is just a general julia bug though.

Cross-referencing Julia optimizations causing crash on ubuntu while sorting multidim arrays which looks like a similar issue with the apt-provided Julia binaries. That issue was also solved by switching to the generic linux binaries from Download Julia
