Comment (by erikd):

 I smell a rat, or maybe its a red herring. Seem to be getting SIGSEGV
 inside the call to `pthread_cond_init`. A bit of googling tells me that
 AddressSanitizer intercepts calls to `pthread_cond_init` and can get it
 wrong eg : https://code.google.com/p/address-
 sanitizer/issues/detail?id=297 .

 Sure enough, trivial C program:

 {{{
 #include <stdio.h>
 #include <pthread.h>
 int main (void)
 {   pthread_cond_t cond;
     pthread_cond_init(&cond, NULL);
     return 0;
 }
 }}}

 Works correctly when compiled and run (even under Valgrind) as:

 {{{
 gcc -Wall cond_init.c -o cond_init && valgrind ./cond_init
 }}}

 but crashes with a SIGSEGV when compiled and run as:

 {{{
 gcc -Wall -fsanitize=address cond_init.c -o cond_init && ./cond_init
 }}}

 Reported this as a bug in Debian's gcc : https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
 bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=786850
