I just compiled ardour6.3.0 and when I try to open an existing project or create a new one it crashes. This is the terminal log:

ardour-6.3.0: ../libs/ardour/disk_reader.cc:1671: void ARDOUR::DiskReader::Declicker::alloc(ARDOUR::samplecnt_t, bool): Zusicherung »n < loop_fade_length« nicht erfüllt.
Abgebrochen (Speicherabzug geschrieben)
(Obviously I have configured my OS to german, the last messages say something like assertion »n < loop_fade_length« failed and Exited (Core dumped))
Version 6.2.0 doesn’t have this issue.
Any hints or help are greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: This also happens if I move the ~/.config/ardour6 folder out of the way, so it shouldn’t be a config problem.
EDIT2: Looking at the code:
void
DiskReader::Declicker::alloc (samplecnt_t sr, bool fadein)
{
delete[] vec;
vec = new Sample[loop_fade_length];
const float a = 1024.0f / sr;
/* build a psuedo-exponential (linear-volume) shape for the fade */
samplecnt_t n;
if (fadein) {
gain_t g = 0.0;
for (n = 0; (n < loop_fade_length) && ((1.f - g) > GAIN_COEFF_DELTA); ++n) {
vec[n] = g;
g += a * (1.0 - g);
}
} else {
gain_t g = 1.0;
for (n = 0; (n < loop_fade_length) && (g > GAIN_COEFF_DELTA); ++n) {
vec[n] = g;
g += a * -g;
}
}
assert (n < loop_fade_length); // <-- this fails because n == loop_fade_length
//see the loop condition above
fade_length = n;
/* zero out the rest just to be safe */
memset (&vec[n], 0, sizeof (gain_t) * (loop_fade_length - n));
}
I don’t wonder about this assertion failing, however I am not the one who wrote this code and don’t know the details of what this does.
But I do wonder why nobody but me seems to have stumbled upon this when running ardour6.3.
Can the person who wrote that code please have a look at this?

EDIT3: For anyone experiencing this there are two “solutions” known to me:
- stick to 6.2.0
- use a samplerate <=96kHz
Robin Gareus said this issue should be solved in recent dev versions.
