Reason for closing:  Upstream
Additional comments about closing:  If it's a bug in libuv then please bisect and report upstream to libuv.

I forgot to mention this happens with neovim 0.9.1-3 which was the precise time when the bundled libraries were removed.

0.9.1-2 doesn't have the issue.

IIUC, upstream can repro on non-Arch? Therefore this is *not* an Arch packaging issue. But it might be an upstream libuv issue. Please keep us posted.

Yes, I wasn't saying it's an Arch issue, it's probably a `libuv` (or maybe Neovim) issue.

This issue happens with Neovim's AppImage too, but it doesn't happen when building Neovim with bundled libraries (Neovim's default).

My point is that you may want to revert to using Neovim bundled libraries or at least use `USE_BUNDLED_LIBUV=ON` due to this regression.

(I'm not aware of the reason why the Arch Linux package disables bundled libraries for Neovim).

Changing the build command from:

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr USE_BUNDLED=OFF USE_BUNDLED_TS_PARSERS=ON

to:

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

fixes the issue.

Strangely, using:

make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr USE_BUNDLED=OFF USE_BUNDLED_LIBUV=ON USE_BUNDLED_TS_PARSERS=ON

doesn't seem to be working (ldd still shows nvim linking to libuv).
