The flatpak version works without any issues.

The flatpak Telegram started crashing as well.

Please try with https://pkgbuild.com/~felixonmars/test/jemalloc-1%3A5.2.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and see if it helps.

It was built with clang (as someone suggested on the linked upstream issue).

I have also released another jemalloc-1:5.2.1-4 to [testing] with a different approach: removing --disable-initial-exec-tls. The link above at pkgbuild.com was built with clang and this switch was not changed.

Please let me know if the crashes are still present with either approach.

Seems the current Arch package doesn't crash anymore.
It has been stable for at least for a week or so.

It's still crashing here

Still crashes with jemalloc from testing, stacktrace is roughly same (__stack_chk_fail)

the telegram-desktop-bin AUR version does not crash

@qwer1234 @Myghi63 @absrdspc Please also try with the https://pkgbuild.com/~felixonmars/test/jemalloc-1%3A5.2.1-4-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst version. Perhaps going with clang makes a difference here.

I've been testing this variant since yesterday and no crashes happened yet, though it might be too early to draw any conclusions from this

Still crashing with version v3.0. I'm now installing jemalloc 5.2.1-4 to see if this fixes my problem
Comment by John Smith (qwer1234) - Wednesday, 01 September 2021, 15:12 GMT
Just crashed v3.0 with jemalloc 5.2.1-4 from Testing.
Comment by Sven-Hendrik Haase (Svenstaro) - Saturday, 04 September 2021, 19:36 GMT
Telegram apparently fixed a bunch of crashes with 3.0.1. Does it still crash for you guys?
Comment by Paulo Marcos (Myghi63) - Saturday, 04 September 2021, 19:41 GMT
I will test this new version. 3.0 was still crashy, but less times a day
Comment by Felix Yan (felixonmars) - Saturday, 04 September 2021, 20:40 GMT
Given that a lot of people still having crashes with the GCC-built -4 release, I have pushed the clang-built version to [testing] as jemalloc 1:5.2.1-5. Please let me know if this helps.

Still Crashing with telegram-desktop v3.0.1. i'm downloading jemalloc 5.2.1-5 to see if this fixes
Comment by Paulo Marcos (Myghi63) - Tuesday, 14 September 2021, 23:58 GMT
jemalloc 5.2.1-5 fixed the problem here. Never crashed on this entire week.
Comment by Felix Yan (felixonmars) - Wednesday, 15 September 2021, 04:44 GMT
Thank you for the feedback.

jemalloc 5.2.1-5 has been moved to [extra] and I still got no report of this problem persisting with it. Please reopen if it is still a problem.
