thread 'main' panicked

[carlolalu]

Following the tutorial on Hands-on Rust I found that compiling flappy I get this error:

thread 'main' panicked at library/core/src/panicking.rs:221:5:
unsafe precondition(s) violated: slice::from_raw_parts requires the pointer to be aligned and non-null, and the total size of the slice not to exceed `isize::MAX`
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace
thread caused non-unwinding panic. aborting.
Aborted (core dumped)

I do not use nightly rust, and my setup was completely following the book. Searching online I found this issue https://github.com/KyleMayes/vulkanalia/issues/254. Could it be related somehow?
