What's Wrong?

Claude Code 2.0.5 on Windows 11 x64 crashes when trying to read a PDF. I can reproduce this at will.

I can then only restart the session to get Claude Code to do anything.

I have found older bug reports mentioning this error message, but they are marked as fixed and are caused by other things.

What Should Happen?

Claude Code should analyze the PDF file without crashing and continue its work.
