seg_fault precompiling AxisArrays v0.4.3 on julia-1.4.2

[accopeland]

'using AxisArray' or Pkg.test("AxisArrays") produces a seg_fault during precompile on Julia-1.4.2 on Linux (4.12.14-lp150.12.79-default / Intel(R) Xeon(R) Gold 6148 CPU @ 2.40GHz). I suspect this is not strictly an AxisArrays issue as I don't find any other reports and it works fine on MacOS.

FWIW, the machine is patched (bugs : cpu_meltdown spectre_v1 spectre_v2 spec_store_bypass l1tf mds swapgs).

Yes I would say this is something to file in https://gitlab.com/JuliaLang/julia since it appears to happen while loading code from the precompile cache and AxisArrays doesn't affect that process.

Makes sense, thank you for looking.
