Zotero 7.0.30 (64-bit) crashes due to segmentation error under Linux (Zorin)

Here is the log:
/app/bin/zotero: line 20: 5 Segmentation fault "$CALLDIR/zotero-bin" -app "$CALLDIR/app/application.ini" "$@"

Steps to reproduce: Start Zotero, synching library via Zotero online storage, roughly 10.000 files remaining. Zotero would crash continuously after 30 - 60 minutes with the above error listed in logs.

How can this error be remedied?
Thank you.
  • Zotero is based on Firefox, which itself relies on system libraries as well as packaged ones. This isn't a widely reported linux bug, as such, presumably Zorin includes some non-standard system libraries from other more mainstream distros. Particularly some distros have been replacing their coreutils with Rust-based versions that may not be feature-complete and as time-tested and bugs related to them have been reported, so that would be a good place to start investigating.
