Description

I am trying to implement a face recognition server that automatically uploads multiple images. Yet the package keeps on crashing the python runtime instance with the error Python(48003,0x7000135ac000) malloc: *** error for object 0x7fc1285bb400: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.

What I Did
I kept on testing and realized that it stops when method face_encoding is ran. But tested it with one image and seems to work fine. The multiple images are coming in as single images but multiple times from multiple clients (browsers).

Would really appreciate some help on this.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash around face_recognition's face_encoding method using multiple images from multiple clients, then compare it with the reported single-image case. Done means the Python runtime remains stable during repeated concurrent image processing; the report does not name specific files or tests.
