Can't precompile on Julia v1.5.2

[Wikunia]

I've installed the Julia testing release v1.5.2 from https://discourse.julialang.org/t/julia-1-5-2-testing-period/46657/8 and when I run using DataFrames I get:

I don't know whether this is a problem of DataFrames or of Julia itself. Maybe you can confirm that this is likely a problem with v1.5.2 then I can open an issue directly at Julia.

On Windows I get:

julia>                                        

so all seems to work with DataFrames v0.21.7. I will check Linux

[bkamins]

On Linux it fails, so this is likely a bug in Julia.

I have transferred the issue, as it is a problem with CategoricalArrays.jl.

Do you still observe this? It looks like a bug in Julia, but it's weird that nobody else experienced it.
