Cache causes error: terminated by signal SIGSEGV (Address boundary error)

I ran bean-price /Users/williamdavies/my-beancount/my-ledger-test.beancount --update --inactive --date 2019-01-01 -vv > prices.beancount

Output:

If I use the -n flag the dry run succeeds. When I use --no-cache the command succeeds. I am fetching 261 prices for a single currency pair (GBP /JPY). I am using this source: "JPY:yahoo/GBPJPY=X".

Wanted to share my workaround/solution and bring attention to the bug (if it is a bug!).

Thank you!
