I have created an Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS instance via the Algo VPN scripts using google cloud. I SSH into the instance for the first time and execute the following simplified test case which results in mpack crashing. Unfortunately I am not overly familiar with c/linux debugging and crash analysis. Does anyone know how I would go about fixing this?
