Description

I'm trying to install Keybase on MacOS 12.3.1 (Monterey) on a MacBook with an M1 chip.

I've tried both downloading the installer from keybase.io and using homebrew, and I wind up with the following error message:

[signal SIGSEGV: segmentation violation code=0x1 addr=0x28 pc=0x545a6ad]

I captured this log with the following command:

brew install keybase 2>&1 | tee install.log

[install.log](https://github.com/keybase/keybase-issues/files/8748558/install.log)

Research direction

Start with the attached install.log and reproduce the failure on macOS 12.3.1 with an M1 chip using both the downloaded installer and Homebrew. No source file or test is identified, so trace the installer entry point from the reproduced SIGSEGV. Done means installation completes without the reported segmentation violation.
