Error message spam in terminal upon opening and every command executed (libextest.so)

Whenever I open a terminal window, before it outputs the "Welcome to bazzite" message it outputs ERROR: ld.so: object '/usr/lib/extest/libextest.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS32): ignored. almost 40 times, then it outputs it three more times, then it outputs it at least one or two more times every time I input any command. Needless to say, this is pretty annoying. This is on a fresh install of bazzite, and was my first time opening a terminal window. I have only installed a small handful of flatpaks and steam games since first boot before I opened a terminal window for the first time, none of which I have any reason to suspect would interact with the terminal in any way. Any ideas on how to get this to stop?

Solution
As discussed here, the cause was opening the terminal from a file browser window opened by steam (from "browser game files" option in game properties). Completely closing the terminal process resolves the issue, assuming it is not reopened from a similar file browser window.
