Code

fn main() {}

Cargo.toml:

[package]
name = "example-name"
version = "0.0.0"
edition = "2021"

[dependencies]
axum = "=0.6.20"

It doesn't panic with any crate, but specifically with axum.

Very likely fixed on the latest nightly (by #115070). Can you double-check that? If so, it's a duplicate of #115064, #115062 and #115116.
