Thanks, that's useful information.

Looking back through the bug, the valgrind log points to errors inside
Avahi libraries, which is related ("+sd" means "with DNS-SD",
implemented using Avahi). I wonder whether something is being done in a
non-thread-safe way? (Avahi uses libdbus, whose behaviour in multiple
threads is harder to reason about than GDBus.)

The script wrapping gdb that I suggested would tell you whether there
are multiple threads, and what they are doing at the time of the crash.
