Trying to calculate a hash with crypto_data_hash causes SWI session to crash - am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

[Raffael]

Hello,

I just wanted to give crypto_data_hash/3 a try but that causes SWI to crash.

use_module(library(crypto)).
crypto_data_hash(test, Hash, [algorithm(sha1)]).

I'm working on Linux Mint 21.2 Xfce 64bit.

And the following documents the session plus error message:

Works fine in the current versions on both Ubuntu and Debian. Possibly they built the old 8.4.2 version against the current crypto libs. I think this should be raised with the mint maintainers.
