This is tough, because it takes a long time to reproduce when the
logging is enabled, and that ends up generating a lot of output.
I've tried to cut it down some using just 4 threads, but that's
still over 30M of logs.
http://www.codemonkey.org.uk/junk/futex.tar.xz

In this run, child0 was the pid that faulted.
You can see the last line in trinity-child0.log has a similar
fingerprint to the trace above.

One thing that does look suspicious, is that all 4 threads were doing
op=0x6 right before the kernel went south.

Hope this helps.
