With a stress test in guile-parallel.  Very hard to reproduce indeed.
You can also reproduce it with `ice-9 futures` I think.

Here's the stress test that I've been using:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(use-modules
  ((ice-9 futures) #:prefix ice-9:)
  (srfi srfi-1)
  (srfi srfi-26))

(define (run-stress-test N future touch)
  (for-each
   touch
   (unfold
    (cut = N <>)
    (lambda (_)
      (future
       (const #t)))
    1+
    0)))

(run-stress-test 10000000 ice-9:make-future ice-9:touch)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
