When running run-client.sh from cli I get the above and in addition

free(): invalid pointer
Aborted (core dumped)


Any ideas what is wrong? Did a quick search of the forums but didn't see anything similar...
Thanks for your help.

 

I am having this same issue on Mint 20 (which is basically ubuntu 20). Something about how free() is being used here seems to be breaking things.
