Should sync without error

Core dump file. It's actually an lz4 compressed file, I had to rename it to .zip to get GitHub to let me upload it. core.chrootenv.1000.57dec26905a942c0aad25fe2ac1a638c.23823.1580582007000000000000.zip

This error is due to running into nodejs's heap limits. In order to fix it it would need to run this process with a higher "max_old_space_size"...

If you're running in an environment where you can easily set the environment variables for when the app loads, try NODE_OPTIONS="--max_old_space_size=6144"
