I can reproduce the error with the attached c program.

[ 1325.980596] thoughts[2127]: segfault at 0 ip 0000000000000000 sp 00007fff183d66e8 error 14 likely on CPU 0 (core 0, socket 0)
[ 1325.981180] Code: Unable to access opcode bytes at 0xffffffffffffffd6.

Simply calling mlockall(MCL_CURRENT) and then fork() seems to be enough
to trigger the error.
