It would seem that one thread in dtrace frees memory while the other is still accessing it. If that memory is subsequently re-allocated dtrace crashes. Running dtrace with MALLOC_OPTIONS=AJ would probably reproduce this easily. I think that one sample invocation was something like dtrace -p <pid> -n 'pid$target:libc*:malloc:entry' (see reqst00307862 for the fact that this doesn't match a probe in the first place. I think that this has the necessary syscalls implemented to run dtrace under valgrind: https://bitbucket.org/rysto32/valgrind-freebsd >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
