Segmentation Fault: in process#close (docker / musl / alpine --only)

[smondet]

I'm seeing a binary built inside a docker alpine container seg-fault at the method #close of a Lwt_process.process. (It just works everywhere else I've tried).

bash-5.1$ cat /etc/alpine-release 
3.13.6
bash-5.1$ ldd ./flextesa 
    /lib/ld-musl-x86_64.so.1 (0x7f9318509000)

Alpine only? Segfault? This reads like stack overflow to me ;) Alpine (musl really iirc) has a default stack size of 8mb which is way inferior to other distros/libc. note that the topic is in vogue!
