Random segfault. Happened to both my production servers at the same time, but I can't reproduce the segfault in the console.

I see the same thing on ruby-2.0.0-p451

@flori is there any issue with running many identical calls to the C extenstion at the same time?

We have async (AJAX) call to 'fuzzy' API endpoint using :amatch for hundreds of records on the page. This typically can causes many segfaults. Most browsers can send 4 parallel requests at the same time.

Thoughts?

We have some random segfaults as well with Ruby 2.1.2.

This issue might be fixed in version 0.3.1.

for anyone else reading this in 2022 (or in the future! hello! 👋 ) my team was running into this segfault pretty frequently, even on version 0.4.0. When we upgraded to ruby 3.0 (from ruby 2.7) it stopped happening.

@ flori thank you for maintaning this gem! it's very helpful!
