I'm getting a segfault of my own just from including the "segfault-handler" module. It doesn't make it far enough in to set its own signal handler routine before the SEGV occurs.

Here is the first few lines of my reproduction:

const config = require('../config.json');

// TODO: This module has not been updated in over 4 years, but its functionality is vital.
// Ironically, the current version of this module running in the latest stable version of
// nodejs segfaults before it can even get far enough into its own initialization to report
// a stack trace.
var SegfaultHandler = require('segfault-handler');
//SegfaultHandler.registerHandler('logs/lsstream_crash.log');
process.exit(1);

It should exit with status 1 immediately after loading "segfault-handler", but instead it just unceremoniously segfaults during a wrapper function around dlopen:

jfolker-local@jfolker-ubuntu1:~/git/lscat/lsnode/backend$ node lsstream.js 
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

Can you try running your nodejs script under gdb and post your stack trace? I wanna see if yours is similar to mine:
