@jrandall reports:

I have been getting a segmentation fault when attempting to use sambamba view to get the header of a BAM (or SAM) in JSON format. Getting the header in sam or msgpack format appears to work, but json format causes a segfault for most versions I've tried.

I initially tried using the guix package on my own data (running inside a docker container produced using guix pack -f docker, but I found that test data packaged with sambamba source triggers the issue as well, and it also occurs on my debian system with the guix package installed.

Can anyone else reproduce this problem?
