David Li / @lidavidm:
I just saw this and filed ARROW-13144 as well, I'll cancel that one.

David Li / @lidavidm:
I can reproduce it, but there's not much to debug. It looks like it crashes in gRPC (but the debugger can't get a backtrace anymore, and I can't build the bundled gRPC).

I noticed that the last passing run installed mingw-w64-x86_64-grpc-1.35.0-2, while the failing runs install mingw-w64-x86_64-grpc-1.35.0-3 - I wonder what changed there.

David Li / @lidavidm:
It looks like the revision adjusted some LDFLAGS (see msys2/MINGW-packages@5f40e4c) - I'm going to build the package from scratch (and with debug symbols) and see if that takes me anywhere.

[asfimport]

David Li / @lidavidm:
I can confirm rebuilding with the LDFLAGS adjusted fixes it - so maybe that shouldn't have been taken out. (Even with debug info, though, there's no backtrace - seems whatever gRPC does, it corrupts the stack.)

[asfimport]

David Li / @lidavidm:
I submitted msys2/MINGW-packages#8984 and will probably follow up with a PR depending on how the maintainers react.

David Li / @lidavidm:
Upstream released a new package revision that should fix the issue. I'll close this once I can confirm our CI passes again.

David Li / @lidavidm:
The new revision fixed the issue (e.g. see https://github.com/apache/arrow/runs/2904412656).
