Ok, this seems to be due to the issue discussed here

   https://lore.kernel.org/all/CAHk-=witXXeQuP9fgs4dDL2Ex0meXQiHJs+3JEfNdaPwngMVEg@mail.gmail.com/

and I think the fix is as per the appended patch (that particular
crash is due to the random.c part, but I did the others that 'git
grep' picked out too).

Can you run your test-runs on this patch?
