Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/debauchee/barrier/issues/415

Operating Systems

Server: Linux (Manjaro and Lubuntu)

Barrier Version

2.3.1-snapshot-f1c57075

Steps to reproduce bug

Start a server without --enable-crypto
Connect to it using a client with --enable-crypto
Watch the server take memory and CPU cycles until it crashes

Other info

When did the problem start to occur? I don't know but it predates recent memory management changes
Is there a way to work around it? Yes, don't misconfigure the client
Does this bug prevent you from using Barrier entirely? No

I reproduced this on two different Linux systems. I could not reproduce it on Windows.
