invalid_chunk when running test suite

[bowlofeggs]

I've been attempting to run the test suite on Fedora Rawhide and it seems to fail to cover compile:

I've tried this with fast_xml-1.1.18, 1.1.19 and 1.1.20. Other related deps:

erlang-erts-19.2.2-1.fc26.x86_64
erlang-eunit-19.2.2-1.fc26.x86_64
erlang-p1_utils-1.0.6-1.fc26.x86_64
erlang-rebar-2.6.4-2.fc26.x86_64

Let me know if I can provide more information!

I think this will work if you disable cover.
I have absolutely no idea why cover is crashing.

I determined that this is something local to my machine, as I was able to get the tests to run and pass on another machine. I don't know what the problem is on my machine yet, but I don't believe it is a problem with fast_xml. Sorry for the noise!

@bowlofeggs did you ever find out what the problem for this is?

I have that problem under Ubuntu Zesty, but no other currently supported Ubuntu or Debian version (including unstable). :-/

[bowlofeggs]

@mathiasertl Unfortunately I did not ever find the cause of this issue.

One thing that might help: I see the exact same behavior with p1_xmpp.
