Can you explain why you suspect this is a JuliaInterpreter bug and not a Julia bug?

[KristofferC]

No, I just know we call some internal stuff in JuliaInterpreter so I thought I would open it here first. If it turns out to be a Julia bug, we can transfer it there but I think we need to do a bit more work for that first.

At least, that is how I look at things, if you use a bunch of internals and your package starts failing / asserting, you, at least, need to put in the effort to show that the problem is indeed with Julia, and not your usage of the internals. I haven't put in that work yet.

Excellent, thanks for clarifying. Good instincts too (as always).
