Hacker NewsI'm submitting this because I'm not sure if something is wrong with my machine, or if there's a kernel bug that can be reproduced on another machine. I've been able to reproduce this issue on my machine twice in a row.
I have a 16-inch Nov 2024 M4 Pro MacBook Pro for my job. It's enrolled in AppleSeed as part of our internal beta testing.
One of the tasks I'm working on is building an IntelliJ IDEA plugin for our internal configuration system. As part of an enhancement I've been working on, I've needed to get several samples of PSI structures from the IDE. If you've worked with the IntelliJ Platform SDK, you know these PSI structures can be absolutely massive, especially if you need to copy and paste them to save them to files.
I tried to save one of these PSI structures to a file so I could analyze it more closely. I pressed Copy PSI in the IDE, opened Neovim in Ghostty to paste, and pressed the paste shortcut... and my system locked up and hard-crashed.
I tried it again when I rebooted, and the system hard crashed again.
I'm not sure how long the actual string I was copying and pasting is, but I know it's probably absolutely massive.
The problem is that I can't figure out if this is a Ghostty issue or a system issue. Ghostty is fully up to date.
Is anyone able to reproduce this issue?
