Unsurprising. There is not a huge amount of work happening in master.

You said earlier that setting gc-cons-threshold to a big value stopped
the problem. What happens if you set it small, say to 1/10th or 1/100
the default value?

If we can provoke the seqfault much faster then it should be possible to
bisect it.
