Aborted

confirmation of the page size;

$ getconf PAGE_SIZE

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash on a Raspberry Pi 5 using the quickwit-v0.8.0 aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu binary and confirm the 16KB page size with getconf PAGE_SIZE. Trace the jemalloc configuration involved in the packaged binary; done means Quickwit starts and runs on this platform without the unsupported-page-size or allocation failure.
