Infinite retry loop in RetryableJob because the canRetry/attempt not obeyed when Job/Worker segfaults

What steps will reproduce the problem?

I am working on getting this info. It happens on a live system with a few thousand jobs per day where a few hundred segfault and get re-queued indefinitely.

The job implements \yii\queue\RetryableJobInterface and has:
public function canRetry($attempt, $error) {
return ($attempt < 3 ) && ($error instanceof TemporaryException);
}

What's expected?

Not sure if the segfault is a Queue issue, but at least the "Attempts" mechanism should work so we do not end up in an infinite race... a job should really not be retried more than twice, but I get the attempt counter (in the logs) up to 400+ (then I have to flush the queue to stop this).

What do you get instead?

Infinite re-queuing. The segfault must happen in a very awkward place in between the attempt counter being increased and canRetry call...

Additional info

Using Redis queue.

Start by tracing RetryableJobInterface attempt handling through the Redis queue worker, focusing on what happens when a job or worker segfaults between incrementing the attempt counter and calling canRetry. Reproduce the re-queuing behavior if possible and verify that a job whose attempt limit is reached is not queued indefinitely.
