linux out-of-process dump unstable

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. compile attached port of 
src/client/mac/tests/crash_generation_server_test.cc for Linux 64 bit
2. run program repeatedly

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect a minidump file every time.
But instead, I get one of 3 different outcomes on each run:
1. a minidump as expected
2. no minidump
3. no minidump and the program hangs on a pthread_join.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Latest svn.  Ubuntu 10.04.

Please provide any additional information below.
