Backport #5700

closed

fork {} segfaults during VM cleanup when run inside Fiber

Added by normalperson (Eric Wong) over 12 years ago. Updated about 12 years ago.

Description

The issue is very easy to reproduce:

Fiber.new do
  p Process.waitpid2(fork {})
end.resume

Parent process successfully exits, child process segfaults while
it is exiting.

Backtrace is attached (gdb_bt.txt)

MALLOC_CHECK_=3 with GNU libc malloc() implementation detects an
attempt to free invalid pointer (attachment: malloc_check_3.txt)

I can also reproduce this with 1.9.2-p290 and 1.9.3-p0 as well as
latest trunk, so it has been around a while and a fix needs to be
backported.
