Just to set the expectations: the race window is quite small, and our
reproduction rate on Google infra is about 1 in 25000 executions.

I just ran the original test for 100,000 executions and saw 4
SIGSEGVs, and 2 failed pthread_detach with error 22 (EINVAL).

The pthread_detach errors seem to indicate a separate bug :-(
