> macOS is different in that /tmp isn’t actually on a tmpfs filesystem, but is rather just a normal directory on the main data volume that is cleaned on boot. One has to manually mount a tmpfs volume themselves with mount_tmpfs. Anyways, I’ll try the tarball linked and see if the issue still persists.

Sorry for the late response, but it doesn’t look like the latest commit (the tarball you sent me) fixes the issue.
