Any idea which self-test triggered that?

Which is not really helpful for people who do not own a s390. And no, I
don't want one unless IBM pays the power bill as well :)

That's ld64.so.1. Weird, but what do I know about glibc self tests.

I still fail to see how that can happen, but I usually page out the futex
horrors immediately. I'll keep staring at the code...
