    Trying to get SignalHound's Spike signal analysis software running, and find a "Segmentation fault (core dumped)" caused as a result of this error in syslog:
    ```
    meta_window_set_stack_position_no_sync: assertion 'window->stack_position >= 0' failed
    ```

    This happenes after starting Spike software from the command line. Same result when run as normal user and root. Same result with Signalhound device plugged in vs not.

    I ran the program with Valgrind and have attched the logs, perhaps that's of some use. Same with syslogs.


    Parallels toolbox for Ubuntu is installed and up to date on the VM.
    Parallels is up to date.
    MacOS is up to date.
    Ubuntu is up to date.
    I'm trying to run the most up-to-date version of spike.

    I've verified that the Spike software + Sigalhound hardware work just fine on a different (x86) computer.

    Specs:
    Macbook M1 Max (10 cores, 64GB RAM)
    MacOS: 15.0.1 (Latest available)
    Parallels: Version 20.1.0 (55732) (latest available)
    VM: Ubuntu 24.04 x64 w/ Rosetta enabled.
    VM Resources: 4 cores, 8GB RAM, access to the SignalHound BB60C USB device.

    Verified USB is connected:
    ```
    parallels@ubuntu-linux-2404:~/Downloads/Spike(Ubuntu22.04x64)_3_9_7$ lsusb

    parallels@ubuntu-linux-2404:~/Downloads/Spike(Ubuntu22.04x64)_3_9_7$ sudo ./Spike
    Segmentation fault (core dumped)
    parallels@ubuntu-linux-2404:~/Downloads/Spike(Ubuntu22.04x64)_3_9_7$
    ```

    Any assistance is appreciated, thank you.
    Acknowledging this is a cross post, but previous post has been up for 2 weeks with no response or comments. If I can't get the necessary programs running in Parallels, I'll resort to purchasing a Windows Intel laptop and will have no more use for Parallels.
