- Node Version [e.g. 8.2.1]: 18 an 20
- NPM Version [e.g. 5.4.2]: 8.5.5
- C++ Toolchain [e.g. Visual Studio, llvm, g++]:
- node-rdkafka version [e.g. 2.3.3]: 2.16.9

//logging debug messages, if debug is enabled

//need to keep polling for a while to ensure the delivery reports are received
var pollLoop = setInterval(function() {
producer.poll();

clearInterval(pollLoop);
producer.disconnect();

//starting the producer

**node-rdkafka Configuration Settings**

**Additional context**

Start with the supplied node-rdkafka producer sample and run it under Node 18 and 20 in the reported Docker and macOS environments. Confirm whether producer.connect() and the produce loop reproduce the segmentation fault, then investigate the node-rdkafka and librdkafka compatibility involved. Done means the sample runs without a segmentation fault and still receives delivery reports.
