## Summary

The **2.1.243** native build segfaults immediately on startup on Arch Linux — every invocation, including `claude --version` and `claude update`. 2.1.240, 2.1.241 and 2.1.245 all run fine on the same machine, so this looks specific to 2.1.243 (2.1.242 not tested).

Filing for the record because 2.1.243 was completely unusable *and* self-recovery was impossible: `claude update` / `claude upgrade` segfault too, so the only way out was manually re-pointing the launcher symlink at a retained older version.

## Environment

- Arch Linux, kernel 6.18.44-1-lts, x86_64
- glibc 2.44+r24+g16be1518495f-1 (upgraded 2026-08-16)
- Install method: `native` (`~/.local/share/claude/versions/`)
- Reproduced from both fish and bash

## Reproduction

```
$ ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.243 --version
Segmentation fault (core dumped)
$ echo $?
139
```

Crashes identically for: bare `claude`, `claude --version`, `claude update`, `claude upgrade`, `claude --resume `, and headless `claude -p ...`. Setting `LC_ALL=C LANG=C` makes no difference. Reproduced across two boots and ~26 separate invocations.

```

## Notes

- The crash sits in startup locale initialization (`__newlocale` under `pthread_once`), before argument parsing — which explains why even `--version` dies and why the in-band updater can't be used to escape.
- The `free` frame is attributed to the binary, but `nm -D --defined-only` shows neither 2.1.241 nor 2.1.243 exports `free`, so that is most likely nearest-symbol attribution rather than an allocator interposition against glibc.
- Each crash wrote a 70.7 MB core dump; 26 of them accumulated before it was noticed.

## Versions tested on this machine

| Version | Result |
|---|---|
| 2.1.240 | OK |
| 2.1.241 | OK |
| 2.1.242 | not tested |
| 2.1.243 | SIGSEGV, every invocation |
| 2.1.245 | OK |

## Workaround

Re-point the launcher at a retained older build:

```
ln -sf ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.241 ~/.local/bin/claude
```

Installing 2.1.245 (`claude install 2.1.245`) also resolves it — whatever this was appears already fixed there.

Hướng nghiên cứu

Start by reproducing the crash from ~/.local/share/claude/versions/2.1.243 with --version on Arch Linux and compare it with 2.1.241 and 2.1.245. Use the supplied startup stack trace and locale details to investigate the native build; done means startup commands, including the updater, no longer segfault on the reported environment.
