What component does this affect?

SurrealDB Rust SDK

Describe the bug

Using Surrealdb Rust SDK + RocksDB backend, on macos I see frequent sigtrap error, somewhere deep within rocksdb dependency.

I've set up a minimal reproduction on github, and noted that it doesn't reproduce on x86_64-linux, only on macos.

To see repro-script output in gitlab runner See Here

For repo with readme instructions & basic setup, See Here

Reproduction repo was set up using AI, but this submission is written and verified by myself.

Steps to reproduce

Or, fork that repo and rerun the github action

Expected behaviour

Should not throw sigtrap at all

SurrealDB version

surrealdb v3.0.0/v3.0.1, macOS aarch64
