rstan/brms cause R and RStudio session abort

I am experiencing a very similar issue as https://stackoverflow.com/questions/72168874/rstan-and-brms-cause-r-and-rstudio-session-abort/76575711#76575711. Whenever it starts sampling, R crashes (R session abort).

I have tried reinstalling rstan along the suggested dependencies, but it has not worked.

Would you happen to have any suggestions?

Try using the cmdstanr backend

• First follow the instructions for installing cmdstanr
• then see the backend argument of brm():

> backend: Character string naming the package to use as the backend for
fitting the Stan model. Options are ‘"rstan"’ (the default)
or ‘"cmdstanr"’. Can be set globally for the current R
session via the ‘"brms.backend"’ option (see ‘options’).
Details on the ‘rstan’ and ‘cmdstanr’ packages are available
at <https://mc-stan.org/rstan/> and
<https://mc-stan.org/cmdstanr/>, respectively.

I also have some setup instructions here.
