Unfortunately for us the nightly release is a little unstable and there
was a [bug](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/110475) in the
latest version of the nightly compiler that prevents use from compiling
some of surrealdb's dependencies. To workaround this issue we've carefully
picked a version of the nightly compiler that works with both cargo-fuzz
and our dependencies. This version is `nightly-2023-04-21`. To install
this version we simply need to run;
`rustup install nightly-2023-04-21`
