GitHubDesktop-linux-1.6.0-linux1.AppImage is crashing the appimaged process

[freddii]

I placed GitHubDesktop-linux-1.6.0-linux1.AppImage in a folder appimaged scans.
/home/$USER/.local/bin/

Then appimaged crashed with:
munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer
Aborted (core dumped)

So do not place it in common folders for appimaged.
But run it once, then it will create its own working starter.

@azubieta mind to have a look? mmap etc. aren't used in appimaged's code base, but in libappimage they're used occassionally, so this is probably a bug in libappimage.

Can you please retest with the experimental build that is using libappimage 0.2?

me@host:~$ appimaged --version
appimaged, continuous build (commit 3b794f3), build 86 built on 2019-01-18 04:35:47 UTC

works with that experimental build.

./appimaged-x86_64.AppImage --version
appimaged, continuous build (commit c0332c8), build 87 built on 2019-01-22 06:58:18 UTC

@freddii I'm not being able to reproduce this error. Would you mind to mention the name of the system you are using, it's version and architecture. Also, please the appimaged version as you did above.
Thanks

This appimaged version works without crashing:
$ ./appimaged-x86_64.AppImage -n
appimaged, continuous build (commit c0332c8), build 87 built on 2019-01-22 06:58:18 UTC

The latest version from github did not work for any Appimage.
No desktop files are created. But it does not crash.
$ ./appimaged-x86_64_github.AppImage -n
appimaged, continuous build (commit 1dd440a), build 88 built on 2019-01-25 18:18:24 UTC

I am using Xubuntu 18.04 Bionic 64 bit.
