Bus error (core dumped)

nvim started using AppImage for v0.11 releases.11. I had noticed that when my laptop resumed from sleep, that some (most?) times nvim had crashed with:

Bus error (core dumped)

Several reports noted that this is a problem with AppImage:

I considered locally building nvim though for now have chosen to use the AppImage extraction solution noted in the reports above:

$ nvim --appimage-extract
$ sudo mv ./squashfs-root /opt/nvim
$ sudo rm -f /usr/local/bin/nvim
$ sudo ln -sf /opt/nvim/AppRun /usr/local/bin/nvim
