How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run expect_reproducer $ ./expect_reproducer

Actual results:

spawn cat cus.log
core_backtrace: 1
:{   "signal": 11

:,   "stacktrace":

...

:              , {   "address": 4396484134880

Inserting "sleep 0.1" right after "spawn" command workarounds the issue for me.
