Hi Michael,

This class of bugs are as you say, old and their seemingly random appearance
point at some memory corruption that is difficult to pinpoint.

Sadly these stacktraces, while technically good, full with symbols available,
are just the picture of the "exit wound", and I never could find what triggers
the corruption. Running under valgrind 24/7 until it happens would help, but it
is really difficult and nobody has had the courage to do it until now.

I remember trying hard to reproduce this kind of bug, and I myself sometimes
have faced it, but never when running valgrind, and at work, where I have other
priorities. So I did not manage to understand it.
