big.matrix fails on M1pro Mac

[dajreiss]

Trying to use bigkmeans on my M1pro Macbook Pro with 32GB of RAM on MacOS Monterey.

Calling big.matrix(x) for a matrix of any size does not return (freezes), unless I set shared=FALSE.

Pressing Ctrl-C aborts the call with the following error:

libc++abi: terminating with uncaught exception of type boost::interprocess::interprocess_exception: Interrupted system call
Abort

I can continue using shared=FALSE however operations such as bigkmeans contain many big.matrix calls with the default shared=TRUE and so I get the same result when calling bigkmeans.

Possibly this is an issue for bigkmeans to allow a user to send shared=FALSE to all big.matrix calls within that function.

Below are my R, library and system information:
