These may find new bugs in Lix, which will +present themselves as Lix processes aborting, potentially without an error +message. + +If Lix processes abort on your machine, this is a bug. Please file a bug, +ideally with the core dump (or information from it). + +On Linux, run `coredumpctl list`, find the crashed process's PID at +the bottom of the list, then run `coredumpctl info THE-PID`. You can then paste +the output into a bug report. + +On macOS, open the Console app from Applications/Utilities, select Crash +Reports, select the crash report in question. Right click on it, select Open In +Finder, then include that file in your bug report.
