I'd say that the kernel is not the responsibility of application developers. It really looks like a pthread/kernel issue because those traces are for two totally separate userland apps (GEM and pdp). I would find another machine, distro and/or OS to run this on if you can't get around a really low level problem. That's probably not what you want to hear, but it's the best advice I can give.
