Description

Often running a harness ends with:

AddressSanitizer: DEADLYSIGNAL
AddressSanitizer: DEADLYSIGNAL
AddressSanitizer: DEADLYSIGNAL
...
AddressSanitizer: DEADLYSIGNAL
AddressSanitizer: DEADLYSIGNAL
AddressSanitizer: DEADLYSIGNAL

In my experience, it always happens at the very beginning of running the harness.

While my setup is quite specific, I believe @mschwager observed the same behavior. (Am I right?)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the failure at the beginning of the harness run and capture the full AddressSanitizer output. Compare the reported behavior with the setup described in the issue and determine a clear cause and reproducible fix; done means the harness no longer ends with repeated DEADLYSIGNAL messages.
