How reproducible is this - everytime or just once in a number of retry loops?
Could you share the minimal simplified setup+loop code to retrigger this over
here?

Title:
Spurious SEGV running inside kvm
Status in openldap package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in qemu package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Running a continuous stream of operations against OpenLDAP slapd
eventually causes a SEGV in liblber, in a segment of code that cannot
fail:

At line 506 we allocate some memory and check for a failure (returning NULL)
and leave the function at line 509 if there was a failure. The allocation is
for 37 bytes of memory and a memcpy into that memory succeeds on line 512. The
SEGV occurs at line 513 and the pointer that was just returned from the
allocator is NULL at this point. There are no other active threads that could
be stomping on memory, there's no stack overrun or any other misbehavior that
can account for it. Also, the identical test sequence completes without
incident when running on the host OS instead of under kvm.
(The src->bv_val pointer points to valid data at the time of the crash; it's
just residing in a mmap'd file and that mapping isn't preserved in the
coredump. So ignore gdb's error there.)
Something in kvm is writing zeroes over a field of memory after we
already checked that it was non-zero.
