Description
**What happened**:
Calling `distributed.Client()` causes Jupyter Kernel to crash. Running it in IPython errors with the following message: `zsh: segmentation fault ipython`
Running `conda update ipython` solves the problem **even though that doesn't change the ipython version**. AFAICT it only switches the channel from which ipython is installed (from pkgs/main to conda-forge). In both cases I'm running `ipython 8.2.0`.
More info [in this issue in the IPython repo](https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13643). Leaving this issue here to flag the problem and for any other dask/distributed users who may be running into it.
