I’m running a small multiprocessing test in a Docker container. The test uses multiprocessing.Queue with a consumer and a producer. The minimal code that leads to the crash can be found below, together with the Dockerfile.
In the code, the main process starts a new process that receives a reference to the Queue, and uses Queue.put() to put an integer on the queue to the main process. What I’m seeing is that the producer process gets killed during the call to .put(), there is no Exception raised whatsoever.

Any ideas on why the .put() is killing the process? This does work locally (macOS) but does not work on the Python base image for a container. The Python version is 3.9.16.

import multiprocessing as mp
import time
import traceback
from typing import Any, Optional

import psutil

base_file = "logs.txt"


def main() -> None:
    queue: Any = mp.Queue()
    print("Queue created")
    print("Starting producer process")

    p = mp.get_context("spawn").Process(target=producer, args=(queue,), daemon=True)
    p.start()
    print(f"Main: producer started: {p.pid}")

    alive = True
    while alive:
        alive = p.is_alive()
        print(f"Ha ha ha staying alive, producer: {p.is_alive()}")
        time.sleep(1)

    print("Every process is dead :( ")

def producer(q: mp.Queue) -> None:
    with open(f"producer.{base_file}", "w") as f:
        print("Producer: started", file=f, flush=True)
        current_value: int = 0
        while True:
            print(f"Producer: Adding value {current_value} to queue", file=f, flush=True)
            try:
                q.put(current_value, block=False)
            except BaseException as e:
                print(f"Producer: exception: {e}", file=f, flush=True)
                print(f"{traceback.format_exc()}", file=f, flush=True)
                raise e
            print(f"Producer: Value {current_value} added to queue", file=f, flush=True)
            print("Producer: Sleeping for 1 second", file=f, flush=True)
            time.sleep(1)
            current_value += 1
