      1) Insert a document into a collection ('test' in my code). Fields are irrelevant.

      2) From the shell, run below code on the collection.

      var my_arr = []

      for (var i = 0; i <= 150000; i++) my_arr.push

      db.test.aggregate([
      {$project: {
      "random_field_name": {
      $reduce: {
      "input": my_arr,

      A Segmentation Fault occurs when nested documents get to a certain level. On my machine it was ~13000. This isn't terribly important to me (I found it because of a bug in my own code) but I don't think a Segmentation Fault is ever supposed to happen. Also it is fairly simple to reproduce. This crashed both a simple 3 server replica set (will crash secondaries if 'prefer_secondary' is enabled) as well as a single server.  The Segmentation Fault seems much more pronounced on the replica set (I am probably just a noob at reading MongoDB status though).

      I am running Ubuntu 20.04.3 LTS and I tried this on MongoDB releases 5.0.6 and 4.4.11.
