I am running a linux/amd64 container in Docker on an arm64 macbook running macos 14.1. Within that container I am doing a yarn build (using node.js and other tools) on a codebase I am developing which takes a couple of minutes to run outside the container. Inside the container it starts normally, but after a minute of normal behavior the progress indicator stops animating and it spikes the cpu to 100% then does nothing else indefinitely (24+ hours). strace tells me that when it gets stuck it switches from vaguely normal syscall behavior (excerpt below) to gigabyte-long trace output lines that look something like this:
sendmsg(80482544, {msg_name={sa_family=0xfcf8 /* AF_??? */, sa_data="\2\2\0\0"}, msg_namelen=6, msg_iov=[{iov_base=0x2000000070, iov_len=

I think something is going very wrong with Rosetta (Apple’s arm64/amd64 translation layer) here, but I’m not sure where to find troubleshooting help with that. I’d like to get deeper before reporting a vague unreproducible bug (I can’t share the source code I’m trying to build).
Here’s the end of the normal-ish strace output before the long sendmsg lines start:
