pointer being freed was not allocated in macosx sonoma 14.4

I followed this guide to setting up virt-manager on macosx but at the end i always get this error when trying to display a vm graphically, so it works fine until you click Open then Play in a VM

Terminal:
[Sat, Apr 06 2024 11:00:18 virt-manager 3871] DEBUG (vmwindow:185) Showing VM details:

I'm not sure I understand what's going on, but it seems to be related the VNC client being used. The VM seems to start, but virt-manager can't get the display to start. On a whim, I tried a different VNC client (tigerVNC) and I was able to connect to the VM.

If i tired virt-viewer manually, and selected the running VM it would crash out with the same malloc error.

Maybe related to #180

Same issue here. I tried the various suggestions re: Spice but nothing worked. Note that opening a remote stopped VM works fine, allows editing the configuration, etc. If remote VM is running, I get the
malloc: *** error for object 0x7fd28e8dda30: pointer being freed was not allocated
