I may be mixing things up but on second glance this entire setup
feels very familiar.  I think this is the second time I have made
this request that the two pieces of debugging code play nice.

Perhaps it is a different piece of debugging code and KASAN that
I am remembering but I think this is the second time this issue has come
up.
