Public bug reported:
On Ubuntu 25.10 with the latest updates as of 2025-12-08, I see stat crashing
randomly (reported separately over ubuntu's bug reporting tool) without any
obvious errors being visible to me as a user except this dmesg entry: coredump:
7808(stat): over core_pipe_limit, skipping core dump
However make parsing a Makefile is over 100 times slower with the rust
coreutils than the gnu ones, so I assume stat crashing in the background has
some noticeable performance hit. But I would expect make crashing then too.
Therefore I created this issue because I suspect some error codes are not being
treated accordingly. Anyway it could be something else wrong with
coreutils-from-uutils performance wise as well.
The only acceptable solution for me was to use the gnu coreutils as a
workaround for now.
sudo apt-get remove coreutils-from-uutils --allow-remove-essential
I'm concerned the coreutils-from-uutils is not yet production ready.
