------------------------+------------------------------
Running `UnitTester` on x86_64 crashes in [http://cgit.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/src/tests/kits/app/bapplication/AppQuitTester.cpp?id=hrev49732#n113
BApplication::QuitTest4] with a segment violation. Debug report attached.
The location of the actual crash varies between (at least) `insert_chunk`
and `hoardUnsbrk` in [http://cgit.haiku-
os.org/haiku/tree/src/system/libroot/posix/malloc/arch-
specific.cpp?id=hrev49732 arch-specific.cpp] but the root cause seems to
always be corruption of the heap's free-chunk list, `sFreeChunks`,
possibly due to the (lack of) locking the unit test performs.
Note this test runs fine on x86_gcc2, so the problem is something
x86_64-specific.
