s behavior back to what we had before 8.3.0, i.e. there will be no leading./

/-X
, or--print0
/-0

could previously crash with a panic due to a race condition in Rusts standard library (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/39364). This has been fixed by switching to a different message passing implementation, see #1060 and #1146 (@tavianator)- ๐
