Crash (core dump) on pypi example

[regislachaume]

System: Ubuntu 24.04 up to date using a dedicated venv in python 3.12.3. Astrometry is the sole installed package, obtained via pip install, and is run with the example from the pypi page. Install details at astrometry_install.txt

The same occurs if I install from source and use python setup.py install within a virgin virtual environment.

File used:

import astrometry
import logging

logging.getLogger().setLevel(logging.INFO)

solver = astrometry.Solver(
    astrometry.series_5200.index_files(
        cache_directory="astrometry_cache",
        scales={6},
    )
)

stars = [

solution = solver.solve(

The error is
