Error in sampler$call_sampler

When running rstan::sampling() I have just started getting the following error message:

[1] "Error in sampler$call_sampler(args_list[[i]]) : "
error occurred during calling the sampler; sampling not done

Please see the comment below for more details

Our stan code hasn't changed in the last 6 months so assume this is related to an updated version of stan / rstan / local compiler change ? The following below is a minimal example code that I was able to use to create the problem, that being said it is super inconsistant, 80% of the time it works fine and 20% of the time it kicks up the above error. Once its kicked up the error it won't fix itself until I restart R. The issue seems to be related to loading our R package via rstantools but I've not been able to consistently reproduce the problem nor diagnose whats triggering it.

Any help / advice would be appreciated.

Start with the minimal example using rstan::sampling() and the supplied devtools::session_info("rstan") output, then compare successful and failing runs across R restarts. No repository file or test is named; done would require a reproducible cause and a verified resolution for the intermittent sampler error.
