Research direction

Reproduce the failure with docker run -it termux/termux-docker on a 64-bit Raspberry Pi 5 host in 16 KB Page Size mode, noting the segmentation fault and dnsmasq notice. The issue names no source file or test; trace the container startup entry point and verify that the image starts without the segmentation fault, while recording whether non-root DNS remains unavailable.

Description

On a Raspberry Pi 5 8GB I'm trying to run the aarch64 variant of termux-docker using this command

docker run -it termux/termux-docker

It's the latest image when I wrote this.
The host is 64-bit ARM (kernel and distro)
But when I start I only get a Segmentation Fault (with a notice that [!] Container is running as non-root, unable to start dnsmasq. DNS will be unavailable)
