REPL tab completion attempt crashes on Arch Linux

REPL in recent 5.1 snapshot behaves strangely on my Arch Linux box. When I ask for code completion after variable name, REPL crashes with core dump.

Here's a case

Welcome to Swift version 5.0-dev (LLVM 77814f897e, Swift ea80003b0c).
Type :help for assistance.
  1> let str = "apple"
str: String = "apple"
  2> print(str.

Has anyone met this issue? How can it be fixed?
Thanks,

That's a bug in lldb or the Swift REPL, I'd file a bug at https://bugs.swift.org

Done [SR-10584] REPL crashes when triggering code completion with tab · Issue #4569 · apple/llvm-project · GitHub
Unfortunately I can't attach core dump file, JIRA does not allow adding bigger files than 10 MB

I made a quick research and it turned out issue does not occur on latest Ubuntu LTS and Swift 5.0.1. Then I went on to limit the scope to libc6 / pthreads. Arch Linux uses a newer (cutting edge?b g]'/ d]'/ ) version, that might be a problem.

My experience with Arch so far that it is prone to have unstable / not well tested packages.

Bug apparently gone in recent 5.1 snapshot so I closed the ticket. Now tab completion works again.
