Crash when calling cut function

[tk3369]

The cut function seems to have a problem with SentinelArray? Copying an example from JuliaData/DataFrames.jl#2326 (comment)

julia> using DataFrames, CSV, Statistics

julia> df = DataFrame(g = rand(1:100, 100), v1 = CSV.SentinelArray(Union{Float64, Missing}[rand() for i in 1:100]), v2 = rand(100));

julia> long_df = stack(df, Not(1), variable_name = "state", value_name = "population");

julia> cut(long_df.population, 10)

I can reproduce it on Linux, Julia 1.5.0. This is probably a bug in Julia Base.

Does this still reproduce?

[brenhinkeller]

Would be good to update JuliaLang/julia#37116 with an MWE if it's still thought to be an issue in Julia base

Can be closed. Does not reproduce on Julia 1.6.7 or newer. Thank you!
