Note that allocate_stack in the stack trace above refers to a function in glibc 
(called from pthread_create).

Increasing allocated stack size even further "fixes" the problem.

Is this still an issue? I can't reproduce in trunk.

I'm particularly after the GDB assertion, I constantly hit it and am looking 
for a minimized testcase to report to GDB devs.

In fact, I can't reproduce even with clang from Feb 14th:

Maybe it's arch specific?

I can't reproduce the TSan segmentation fault, but GDB assertion is still here.

gdb bugs do not belong here
