--- Comment #7 from KJ Tsanaktsidis <kj@kjtsanaktsidis.id.au> ---
I did make a bit more progress debugging the issue though - I don't think t=
he
problem has anything to do with jemalloc at all - it's _just_ an RTLD issue.

I captured a different backtrace of the problem and attached it. In this one
thread #2 is just sitting there chilling on an unrelated mutex; it is _not_
doing any jemalloc things. So, thread #1 manages to get deadlocked during
`_rtld_atfork_pre` all by itself.

In particular, it's blocked acquiring the `rtld_bind_lock` in write mode, a=
nd
the lock appears to already be held in write mode (by who??):

```
(gdb) print *((struct rtld_lock *)lock)

$21 =3D {lock =3D {rw_state =3D -1610612736, rw_flags =3D 2, rw_blocked_rea=
ders =3D 1,
rw_blocked_writers =3D 0, rw_spare =3D {0, 0, 0, 0}},
  _pad =3D '\000' <repeats 31 times>}
# bitmask against URWLOCK constants, from
https://github.com/freebsd/freebsd-src/blob/1377eb268a5a8a5573bda33a6519632=
59c43c3ed/sys/sys/umtx.h#L62
(gdb) print /x ((struct rtld_lock *)lock)->lock.rw_state & 0x80000000U

$22 =3D 0x80000000
(gdb) print /x ((struct rtld_lock *)lock)->lock.rw_state & 0x40000000U

$23 =3D 0x0
(gdb) print /x ((struct rtld_lock *)lock)->lock.rw_state & 0x1FFFFFFFU

$24 =3D 0x0
(gdb)
```

Also also, I'm not 100% sure yet that this wasn't just luck so far, but it
_seems_ I can avoid the deadlock by setting `LD_BIND_NOW`...

Anyway I'll keep hunting for an isolated reproduction. If you have a stab in
the dark though I'm happy to try a patch as well.
