Hello all,
Recently we did an upgrade of Stata 17 to the latest "16 May 2023" version from "20 Apr 2021". Before the upgrade, using xstata and opening the Data Editor (via the button on the main screen, via Data > Data Editor, or via the `browse` command) would open the Data Editor window. After the update, doing any of those 3 actions closes Stata with a Segmentation Fault and no additional errors or logs being produced in the console.
I have attempted both updating through stata itself as well as downloading the most up-to-date version directly from the Stata download site, running it on multiple different machines (to make sure that it is not HW dependent), and attempted to run it under Valgrind. Nothing produced any more helpful info. No matter the download method or machine it was ran on, the crash still occurred. Additionally running it under Valgrind actually prevented the crash (though there were a TON of 'Conditional jump or move depends on uninitialised value(s)' errors while running.)
Based on the OS Requirement Page, I can confirm that we have:
As a sysadmin, I'm admittedly not well versed in using stata in specific, so any help in resolving this would be appreciated. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to better help in tracking down what might be happening here
