jdk14 & libc_r / fork()

hi,
I have hit into a problem recently while trying to reproduce
some deadlocks in jdk14 port. Problem details are simple --
JDK calls fork() and got frozen because of storm of unhandled
(i.e. ignored SIGBUSes). I have checked that SIGBUS ignorance
is not a problem, but reason of SIGBUS is.
Some investigations shown that while doing of libc_r's wrapper
for fork() we try to cleanup pthread's stacks. Since we are
using custom stacks in JVM (malloc()'ed ones) libc_r attempts
to free() them. Most times everything goes right, but sometimes
(very rarely) SIGBUS is being generated while free()'ing of stacks.
more details: it's RELENG_4
from trace (sorry, i accidiently deleted complete trace), but
from memory can restore following points:
libc_r/uthread/uthread_fork.c:154 -- <free() called here>
[..]
libc/stdlib/malloc.c:606 -- <KABOOM here>
Any ideas on reasons ?
PS: BTW, it's looks very similar to "red zone" violation in protection,
but since problem appears after __sys_fork() call - it should not be
a problem. Am I right ?
