mpm fails installing - error message "double free or corruption (out)"

[WDO2]

Issue: mpm fails to install Matlab (a suspicious part of the error message is "double free or corruption (out)")

Overview: We use mpm to install Matlab in a docker container (As alternative method we build a .devcontainer which produces basically the same error messages but additionally the hint that "double free or corruption (out)" is an issue.

mpm --version MATLAB Package Manager 2024.2.1

Reproduction Method:

wget -q https://www.mathworks.com/mpm/glnxa64/mpm
chmod +x mpm
./mpm install     --release=r2023a     --destination=/opt/matlab/r2023a     --products MATLAB     || (echo "MPM Installation Failure. See below for more information:" && cat /tmp/mathworks_root.log && false)

(While retrying the pipeline I find that sometimes it passes, hence that command is unstable)

Expected behavior: Matlab should be installed
