Does using Revise cause julia 1.5.0-rc1 to crash?

I’ve just downloaded the glibc binary from the Julia downloads page. This is what I find

Running using Revise causes the REPL to crash. This does not happen with other packages. Is this something specific to my system or is this a known issue?

I think this should be fixed on the latest version. Try ]up, or if this doesn’t work ]add Revise@2.7.
