You've neglected to identify the environment it works in, the
environment number it doesn't work in, and the reason you didn't do
a bisect as courtesy prescribes.

In this case, system.c gets so few commits that a bisect is almost
a formality.  The bug is likely to have been introduced by workers/45708.

I recommend that you test the behaviour with and without that commit
and reported the results.

I further recommend that, if you have time, you also prepare a patch,
or at least an expected-to-fail regression test (using the 'f' flag
after the exit code).
