Even limiting it to do just a simple syscall like execve (which fails most the time in trinity)
triggers it, suggesting it's not syscall related, but the fact that trinity is forking/killing
tons of processes at high rate is stressing something more fundamental.

Given how easy this reproduces, I'll see if bisecting gives up something useful.
