Yes, it's pretty simple - it spins up a number of VMs with hwsim and
just runs a lot of tests:

https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/tree/tests/hwsim

I've attached a kernel .config you can use for it.

I'm running 7 VMs (vm/parallel-vm.py 7), which makes it faster, but you
can probably reproduce the bug better with a single VM.

I have a feeling there's a bug with ht->nelems, since the crash is
always in the grow worker, but I haven't quite put my finger on it yet.
