Here is the second log:
https://gist.githubusercontent.com/dvyukov/dd7970a5daaa7a30f6d37fa5592b56de/raw/f29182024538e604c95d989f7b398816c3c595dc/gistfile1.txt

I've hit only twice. The first time I tried hard to reproduce it, with
no success. So unfortunately that's all we have.

Re logs: my setup executes up to 16 programs in parallel. So for
normal BUGs any of the preceding 16 programs can be guilty. But since
this check is asynchronous, it can be just any preceding program in
the log.

I would expect that it is triggered by some rarely-executing poorly
tested code. Maybe mmap of some device?
