Yes it seems like a bug, but hard to diagnose. It seemed like a bug back
in May:  see


I vaguely theorize about a buffer overrun somewhere that scribbles on
the stack.

The answer to Andres's question about where the stackdumps go is that
they go in the data directory, AFAIK. You can see the buildfarm logic
for collecting them at

starting at line 149. There are various appropriate invocations of
get_stack_trace() in run_build.pl.
