You may have noticed that there are quite a few builds being reported as
failing in koschei with SEGV errors during testing.
The bad news is that it seems that the builds of node done with gcc 6
seem to have some sort of problem that results in random crashes during
garbage collection runs.
I can reproduce it in a rawhide VM that predates the rebuild just by
updating the nodejs package to the nodejs-4.2.4-5.fc24 build from the
mass rebuild. Going back to -4 fixes it.
I have tried updating node to 4.2.6 but that hasn't helped.
The crash, according to gdb, normally seems to be somewhere in v8 during
a garbage collection run.
