Does the crash still happen in latest version? I was able to reproduce the crash in <=2.0.13 but not on master so it has likely been fixed already.

Yep, it is probably fixed by #2992.

ok, would you be able to push that fix out as a patch version to the Debian 12 repository?

Nope – the Debian package is maintained by a different group of people. None of us have any control over their release process.

2.0.14 is already available on sid (Debian's unstable channel), but if you're on bookworm (stable) and don't want to install the package from the unstable channel you can either

1. build micro from source
2. install micro using a distro-agnostic package manager that has an up-to-date version (eg. nix, flatpak, or snap)
3. grab the latest version from Github releases (it's a single binary so you can just drop it in your $PATH, no installation required).

okay, thank you for your detailed explanation, clearly nothing to be done here on your side

Thanks all!
