Brief summary of issue:

After unintentionally upgrading to 1.25.3.2 with brew upgrade, the binary fails with SYSSEGV. Running under lldb shows this error in luajit:

The latest known version that works seems to be 1.19.9.1. I looked into Git history and successively tried older and older versions for all commits titled "upgraded openresty to ..." (so 1.21.4.1, 1.21.4.2, and 1.25.3.2).

Strangely, at one point I noticed that I had 1.21.4.1_1 installed, so I was presumably running that for the past two years:

Sadly this older version got cleaned up by brew shortly after, so I could not verify if that version still worked after the unintentional brew upgrade that wholesale upgraded everything.

1.19.9.1_2 works, even though it shows the same libluajit version (5.1.2) like the newer ones that fail.
