Hi Sandeep, thank you for the response!

Some failed runs on this animal indicate SegFault in places changed by bugfix relevant to this thread. Fails were observed only on HEAD, but this may be a result of concurrent nature of possible new bug. If there is a new bug - this would affect upcoming point release. But we do not know for sure. Other animals show no signs of any related SegFault.
Can you please run make check phase on this animal on HEAD multiple time (preferably ~hundred times)? If some of this runs fail it's vital to collect backtraces of run.

Many thanks!

Best regards, Andrey Borodin.
