Antigravity Server Crash by TCMalloc 48bit

This issue was reported as early as November 2025. Why has it not been addressed by the official team yet?

Bug Report: Antigravity AI Language Server crashes on ARM64 Chromebook - Google Antigravity - Google AI Developers Forum

Why does the server attempt to allocate memory in the 48-bit address range on Linux? Is the 39-bit address space (512GB) not sufficient for the language server’s operations?

On many ARM64 devices, the kernel is configured with 39-bit virtual addresses by default. When TCMalloc tries to map memory using a 48-bit hint, it triggers a fatal crash because the address is out of bounds for the CPU/Kernel configuration.

root@firefly:~# zcat /proc/config.gz | grep CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS_39=y
# CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS_48 is not set
CONFIG_ARM64_VA_BITS=39

3792438 third_party/tcmalloc/internal/system_allocator.h:596] Note: the allocation may have failed because TCMalloc assumes a 48-bit virtual address space size; you may need to rebuild TCMalloc with TCMALLOC_ADDRESS_BITS defined to your system’s virtual address space size

Here is the application error message.
