>Description:
The memmem_oob test case of the lib/libc/string/t_memmem test
sometimes fails with a SIGSEGV. The failures are rare, but I'm
calling this serious because the test is supposedly testing for
out-of-bounds accesses, and if that is in fact what's happening,
it should be treated as a potential security issue.
There has been two failures so far this year on my testbed, on
real amd64 hardware:

and one on the TNF testbed, on qemu/nvmm:
