I built Mercurial on Mac with PyOxidizer. I then ran
hg commit -i
and quit without changing anything. That resulted in a segfault. It seems that the issue is an ABI compatibility between the ncurses version compiled against (6.1 or 6.2, I don't remember which) and the version dynamically linked on macOS. On Big Sur, the ncurses version seems to be 5.4. Adding--with-abi-version=5
to theconfigure
script fixed the problem for me.
