Failing on typescript install (large modules?)

[lmeyerov]

See: nodejs/node#29364

Steps to reproduce (from a docker that repeatedly fails):

ENV NODE_VERSION 12.11.0

 && set -x \
 && curl -fsSLO --compressed "https://nodejs.org/dist/v$NODE_VERSION/node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-$ARCH.tar.xz" \
 && curl -fsSLO --compressed "https://nodejs.org/dist/v$NODE_VERSION/SHASUMS256.txt.asc" \
 && gpg --batch --decrypt --output SHASUMS256.txt SHASUMS256.txt.asc \
 && grep " node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-$ARCH.tar.xz\$" SHASUMS256.txt | sha256sum -c - \
 && tar -xJf "node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-$ARCH.tar.xz" -C /usr/local --strip-components=1 --no-same-owner \
 && rm "node-v$NODE_VERSION-linux-$ARCH.tar.xz" SHASUMS256.txt.asc SHASUMS256.txt \
 && ln -s /usr/local/bin/node /usr/local/bin/nodejs \
 && node --version \
&& npm i -g typescript@3.4.3 \

Also failed on node 12.1.

cc @isaacs as it seems you have been active on npm\make-fetch-happen\cache.js and the lines in question..

Fun, narrowed it down to something reproducible around env flag READABLE_STREAM.

Dockerfile:

FROM ubuntu:bionic
  
RUN echo "============ NODE DEPS ========" \
 && apt update -y --fix-missing \
 && apt install -y build-essential curl \
 && mkdir -p ~/.gnupg && echo "disable-ipv6" >>  ~/.gnupg/dirmngr.conf


#ENV NODE_NO_WARNINGS 1
#ENV USE_LOCAL_USER "false"
ENV READABLE_STREAM "disable"
#ENV NO_UPDATE_NOTIFIER "true"

ENV NODE_VERSION 12.10.0

Trigger: sudo docker build -t mytest:1 -f ubuntu.Dockerfile .

If you comment out READABLE_STREAM, it works.
