[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#956211: nodejs 10 segfaults when running webpack on gitlab 12.9.2 - FATAL ERROR: Ineffective mark-compacts near heap limit Allocation failed - JavaScript heap out of memory

[Pirate Praveen]

Package: nodejs
Version: 10.19.0~dfsg-3
Severity: grave
Control: notfound -1 12.13.1~dfsg-1


nodejs 10 crashed (retried again) and on the same machine nodejs 12 
worked.
This has been working upto gitlab 12.8.8 and the failure appeared when 
trying to update to 12.9.2 (just installing gitlab from experimental in 
an lxc container).
