Examples of this elsewhere (that I've encountered) include:
1. https://github.com/TelegramOfficial/Android/issues/6#issue-3138558091

https://github.com/vicolo-dev/chrono/issues/406#issuecomment-2597756653 is
similar, too.
# EXPECTED RESULT
It shouldn't crash.

# ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
1. For future reference, this occurs on
[email protected]'s phone; not mine.
2. The disparity between the environment information in `#c0` and `#op_sys` is
due to https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=508949#c0.
