Yes, it is.

I did start a grep on all s390x build logs yesterday. And it did complete
over night.

abort()s don't leave coredumps as far as I know and those problems are
unreproducible as a given back build usually works. Normally these
are one-offs. The build log grep seems to confirm that.

So we are talking about these:

Indeed I saw it mostly with perl but it's not confined to it. It doesn't
make me happy but it happens quite rarely. Maybe one would have the best
chance with pdl to debug that. 0x80c28d80 is on the heap in any case
(i.e. not an anonymous mmap), my assumption is still that something in the
allocator or the kernel's fishy.

In any case feel free to give back builds failing with this reason. That's
what I did so far.

Kind regards
