It seems to be a problem in your application. Which javascript runtime are you using?

[jeffblake]

This sounds similar to the recent error I have after the coffee-script-source 1.12.1 gem was released:

sstephenson#204

[rafalpetryka]

Sorry, but I've also problem with node. When I get Segmentation Fault when I trying to get node version (node -v). Yesterday I changed my debian into ubuntu server and problem solved :)

[cookrn]

I was seeing the issue on an underpowered host when the process was killed for lack of RAM. This didn't become clear until I disabled Uglify after which I could see the Killed messaging in the logs.

It might be that your usage of a small RAM vps is actually causing the error. Like mine, which was 512MB. You can restart your production server and precompile the assets or , better, upgrade your vps to a higher RAM, eg 1GB or more depending on your needs.

I am seeing this error on a mac mini with 16GB ram (with over 8GB ram free) (so using the Apple JavaScriptCore).

I just updated our app from rails 5.0.1 to 5.0.3. This error does not occur on our staging environment (also a mac mini, but with "only" 8gb ram).
