OK.

I've reproduced BUG_ON by running this program which sets arg_start>arg_end:

#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <sys/prctl.h>
#include <unistd.h>

enum {PAGE_SIZE=4096};

int main(void)
{
        unsigned long env_start, env_end;
        void *p;

        p = mmap(NULL, PAGE_SIZE, PROT_NONE, MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS, -1, 0);

#define PR_SET_MM               35
#define PR_SET_MM_ARG_START     8
#define PR_SET_MM_ARG_END       9
#define PR_SET_MM_ENV_START     10
#define PR_SET_MM_ENV_END       11
        prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_ARG_START, (unsigned long)p +
PAGE_SIZE - 1, 0, 0);
        prctl(PR_SET_MM, PR_SET_MM_ARG_END,   (unsigned long)p, 0, 0);

        pause();
        return 0;
}
