Extension Host keeps terminating, extension bisect could not determine the cause
Type: Bug
Hi! First-ever issue from me so I hope I'm providing everything correctly :)
I'm using ubuntu 22.04 LTS and have been seeing this issue for a while. Tried both latest production and insider versions of VS Code, issue still persist. Usually I have to restart vs code to resume working, but the extension host would eventually crash again shortly.
Following are output from debug console:
Extension Host localProcessExtensionHost.ts:276 double free or corruption (out) abstractExtensionService.ts:849 Extension host (LocalProcess pid: 154969) terminated unexpectedly. Code: 134, Signal: unknown zb @ abstractExtensionService.ts:849 log.ts:456 ERR Extension host (LocalProcess pid: 154969) terminated unexpectedly. The following extensions were running: vscode.github-authentication, vscode.emmet, GitHub.copilot-chat, ms-vscode.cpptools, spmeesseman.vscode-taskexplorer, vscode.git-base, mhutchie.git-graph, vscode.git, vscode.github, vscode.grunt, vscode.gulp, vscode.jake, vscode.npm, vscode.typescript-language-features error @ log.ts:456 notificationsAlerts.ts:42 Extension host terminated unexpectedly 3 times within the last 5 minutes.
