What we need:

- the complete command line that triggers the bug;

Are you linking to libpthread?

Where does it crash?

Nope.

The code is largely the same for GNU/Linux and FreeBSD, and I'm not aware of
any problems in it, and TSan doesn't show any, which suggests a problem in the
FreeBSD pthreads implementation.

I do recall something in FreeBSD's pthreads impl being non-conforming, where
the static PTHREAD_MUTEX_INITIALIZER (or maybe PTHREAD_COND_INITIALIZER)
creates an invalid object that then requires dynamic initialization on the
first use. There could be a race in that code (or I could be totally
misremembering).
