Hi, I’d like to work on this issue. I’m able to investigate the crash and submit a fix with a regression test if appropriate. Could you please assign this issue to me?

@Jyatin thank you, the issue has been assigned to you.

Hi @Jyatin, just checking in since it's been about 2 weeks since assignment with no activity. Are you still working on this? If not, I'd be happy to take it on. @ShareASmile could you reassign if Jyatin isn't actively working on it?
ShareASmile commentedon Oct 26, 2026
@Fayupable yes, sssigned to you as Jyatin hasn't responded since more than a month.

You may take up another issue if you want to, but ask and get assigned from maintainers first.
