Segfault when starting yforth:

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

This happens on both x86_64 and aarch64 machines.

Further testing shows yforth worked on 16.04.6, but segfaults on launching on 18.04.5 as well as 20.04.1.

I came here to report this, but see it's already been reported. For what it might be worth, I see it under Userspace on Android as well.

I don't know much about gdb, but on x86_64 I see the below. It looks like maybe a file is missing? Based on a Google search, I tried installing glibc-source and tried again but got the same result.

I have now tested and confirmed that the issue can be seen on Focal, Jammy, Mantic and Noble.
