Puppeteer crashes on browser.close() with: Received signal 11 <unknown> - node.js

Question

I have not found any question that addresses an issue I face with a puppeteer script. The script runs fine and produces a screenshot, except that it crashes at the end in browser.close(). I reduced the script to its essence to reproduce the issue:
import puppeteer from 'puppeteer';
import { PendingXHR } from 'pending-xhr-puppeteer';
const puppeteerOptions = {
headless: true,
dumpio: true,
userDataDir: './user-data',
defaultViewport: null,
args: [
'--window-size=1200,800',
'--disable-notifications',
'--disable-geolocation',
'--disable-infobars',
'--disable-extensions',
'--disable-session-crashed-bubble',
'--disable-gpu',
'--disable-features=NetworkService',
'--disable-audio-output',
'--mute-audio',
'--silent-debugger-extension-api',
'--single-process',
'--disable-setuid-sandbox',
'--full-memory-crash-report',
'--unlimited-storage'
]
}
let url = process.argv[2];
if(!url) {
console.log('Specify URL');
process.exit(1);
}
const sleep = m => new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, m)); // sleep is a setTimeout that can be awaited
(async() => {
console.log('==> initialize headless browser');
const browser = await puppeteer.launch(puppeteerOptions);
const page = await browser.newPage();
const pendingXHR = new PendingXHR(page);
try {
console.log('==> load ' + url);
await page.setDefaultNavigationTimeout(0);
await page.goto(url, { waitUntil: 'networkidle0' }); // wait for page load
console.log('==> await page.setRequestInterception');
await page.setRequestInterception(true); // intercept requests, for next line
console.log('==> await pendingXHR.waitForAllXhrFinished');
await pendingXHR.waitForAllXhrFinished(); // wait for all requests to finish
console.log('==> generate screenshot');
await page.screenshot({ path: './screenshot.png', fullPage: true });
await sleep(2000);
} catch (error) {
console.log('==> Catch ERROR: ' + error.message);
}
console.log('==> page.close()');
await page.close();
await sleep(2000);
console.log('==> browser.close()');
await browser.close();
console.log('==> script end');
})();

I am using the chromium that npm installs with puppeteer.

Any idea how to fix this crash?

Same issue. appears to happen only on .close() and the rest of the process runs fine. there are some errors on launch but they dont seem to affect the output. I dont know whether to care about these up front errors or not but the stack dump on .close() definitely is not good! do you still think it is a chromium bug or related? I am still assuming it is my fault, just dont know how to fix any of this. input welcome! :)
