Research direction

Reproduce the crash by loading PyCall and HuggingFaceDatasets together in Julia 1.11.5, using the package environment shown in the issue. Investigate the interaction between these packages and the reported allocator failure; done means both packages load without the malloc error or abort.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

I'm getting an error when loading Pycall and HuggingFaceDatasets simultaneously in Julia Version 1.11.5.

julia(59194,0x1ffb40140) malloc: *** error for object 0x166e842b0: pointer being freed was not allocated
julia(59194,0x1ffb40140) malloc: *** set a breakpoint in malloc_error_break to debug

[59194] signal 6: Abort trap: 6
in expression starting at REPL[3]:1
__pthread_kill at /usr/lib/system/libsystem_kernel.dylib (unknown line)
Allocations: 48449096 (Pool: 48442458; Big: 6638); GC: 41
