Aborted (core dumped) trying to builtins.trace at specialArgs

[n8henrie]

Describe the bug

I get Aborted (core dumped) "$@" if I try to specialArgs = builtins.trace inputs inputs in my system flake. Tested on 2 different systems (the one below is a VM).

Nothing else changed in the configuration.nix (which was entirely different between the two systems).

[root@nixosvm:/etc/nixos]# nixos-rebuild switch
/run/current-system/sw/bin/nixos-rebuild: line 167:  1147 Aborted                 (core dumped) "$@"

{
  description = "NixOS VM";
  inputs.nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixos-22.05";
  outputs =
    { self
    , nixpkgs
    } @ attrs:
    let
      system = "aarch64-linux";
    in
    {
      nixosConfigurations.nixosvm = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem
        {
          inherit system;
          specialArgs = builtins.trace attrs attrs;
          modules = [
            ./configuration.nix
          ];
        };
    };
}

Expected behavior

Either work or given an error with an explanation.

nix-env --version output

[root@nixosvm:/etc/nixos]# nix-env --version
nix-env (Nix) 2.13.3

Additional context

I wonder if related:

• Nix crashes when evaluating attribute sets which look like an invalid derivation #7383
• builtins.typeOf and builtins.break break when used together on lazy structures #7280
• Crash, when trying to print NixOS module arguments #6772
