Description Alex Crichton 2014-04-10 16:10:01 UTC 
Recently we've found that FreeBSD is segfaulting or hanging frequently when dealing with what we suspect is a multithreaded forking situation. I've written a small program (attached) which exhibits the bug. This program will segfault or trip an assertion in libthr frequently, but not always.

Fix: Patch attached with submission follows:
How-To-Repeat: 1. Download attached bug.c
2. clang -o bug bug.c -lthr
3. Run the program repeatedly until it segfaults, normally requiring less than 500 runs.

When running the program, I've been using this script:

  for i in {1..1000}; do; echo $i; ./bug || break; done
