[BUG] Claude >=147 crashes on RHEL8, <= 145 works fine
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
- [x] This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
- [x] I am using the latest version of Claude Code
What's Wrong?
When I run "claude" pointing to ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.14[78] it segfaults. 145 is the latest that works.
What Should Happen?
claude should at least start...
Error Messages/Logs
Nothing is printed before it dumps core, but I attached strace outputs
Steps to Reproduce
I suspect you have to be on a certain system, then just "claude" or "~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.148"
OS is
$ uname -a
Linux orw-fedorp2-r8 4.18.0-553.87.1.el8_10.x86_64 #1 SMP Wed Dec 3 12:45:57 UTC 2025 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Hardware, in case it matters, is AMD EPYC-Milan (it's a VM). Don't think it matters - it also crashes on bare metal Intel box running the same kernel.
Claude Model
None
Is this a regression?
Yes, this worked in a previous version
