unmap_chunk(): invalid pointer error in nodejs >= v21.7.0

[TarunCore]

I tried to run the following code in NodeJS version >=v21.7.0

It gives the error:
unmap_chunk(): invalid pointer (Related to cpp bindings)

import { Bucket, Cluster, connect } from 'couchbase'
async function main() {
  const cluster: Cluster = await connect(
    'couchbases://cb.xx.cloud.couchbase.com',
    {
      username: 'user',
      password: 'pass',
    })

  const bucket: Bucket = cluster.bucket('mybucket')

  const collectionManager = bucket.collections();
  // This line of code is triggering the error
  collectionManager.createCollection("col2", "scope2", {
    maxExpiry: 5000
  })
}
main()

But in NodeJS version <= v21.6.2 there is no error and works fine.

Output:

I actually ran into this issue while creating project by https://ottomanjs.com/

npx ottoman-cli generate

• There is no warning about NodeJS version requirement which led to failure while running the project created by ottoman-cli
• Then I directly tried running sdk https://github.com/couchbase/couchnode and found this issue with couchnode
• This happens in Ubuntu as far as I tested, and not in Windows
• lib/collectionmanager.ts is updated with cpp bindings in version v4.2.8 from v4.2.7. This might be the cause as v4.2.7 doesn't have this issue

System Info:
Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS
