Running executable from /snap/bin hangs
Metadata
Current evaluation
2018 report: Rust-built snap hangs via /snap/bin wrapper after store install, though the direct binary works; gdb shows a re-exec loop in snapd's snap-confine/snap-exec (core 6673). No labels, comments, or maintainer activity for 7 years.
Suggested action: close stale
Reason: Zero comments, no labels, and no maintainer interaction for ~7 years (last activity 2564 days ago). The gdb trace localizes the hang to snapd's runtime (snap-confine/snap-exec in core 6673, a 2018-era core), not to snapcraft's build process — the reporter notes the binary runs fine directly and when installed locally — so there is nothing to fix in this repo and the affected snapd version is long out of support.

Issue body
I have a snap (https://snapcraft.io/juju-kubectl) that works fine when built and installed via snap locally, but fails when installed via the snap store. It's getting pushed to the snap store by the automatic GitHub build integration, and is using the Rust plugin.
When installed via the snap store, I can run the binary just fine as `/snap/juju-kubectl/current/bin/juju-kubectl`, so it appears to be an issue with snap and not the build process for the binary itself.
When I run `sudo gdb /snap/bin/juju-kubectl`, I get this output repeatedly:
