Can you provide the full 'make check' output?  (Maybe as an attachment.)  I'd 
like to 
see what other tests have failed.

Hmm, very curious.  stacktrace_unittest fails, but tcmalloc_minimal_unittest, 
which
does so much more, succeeds.

OK, try this: do
   ./configure CXXFLAGS=-g    # turn off optimization
   make clean
   make
   ./stacktrace_unittest
   ./tcmalloc_minimal_unittest

See if the first still segfaults and the second still succeeds.  If so, try 
running
the first under gdb to get a backtrace of where it's segfaulting.  If you can 
poke
around and figure anything out, that would be great too!

Any more word on this?

It's been about half a year with no more word, so I'm going to close this 
CannotReproduce.  If you get any more info about the failures, feel free to 
reopen.
