This is reproduced on second run of application I submitted on my previous mail:

can't set ldisc: Cannot allocate memory

Initially I run it, everything is ok.
Then I run it and get error and backtrace.
And if I run it again, everything is ok again, repeatedly. Probably some resources are properly
set up in error condition, and not in normal condition.

I use ARM machine for testing and x86, bug is architecture-independent.
