netlify dev crashes with error: "Segmentation Fault / maxBuffer exceeded. Shutting down Netlify Dev server"

[webdevsk]

Describe the bug

Project: React + Vite + Netlify functions v2 My system: Windows 11 Professional | Ryzen 5 4600H 6C12T | 16GB DDR4 Ram Node: v20.10.0 CLI: v17.10.0 + 2 older versions Vite: v4.4.5 npm: v10.2.3

Netlify dev crashes after several minutes with just a single message "Segmentation fault" and nothing else. When I run netlify dev --debug, I get "maxBuffer exceeded. Shutting down Netlify Dev server" instead. I've attached the full error below.

Note: I have several Netlify functions but only 1 gets called repeatedly while I'm working in dev mode. I have noticed that most of the time it crashes upon calling a Netlify function.

Problem persisted in the last 3 Netlify cli versions including the current one being v17.10.0 I haven't tried older versions fearing that Functions v2 may not work.

All functions use Prisma to make Database queries and this is the schema:

generator client {
  provider      = "prisma-client-js"
  binaryTargets = ["native", "windows", "rhel-openssl-1.0.x"]
}

Full error message:
