 I'm running tor browser on linux (Fedora 24 Beta) 64Bit, version 6.0a5,
 hardened. When starting it, I get this error message:

 {{{
 $ ./start-tor-browser.desktop --verbose
 Launching './Browser/start-tor-browser --detach --verbose'...
 ==18068==AddressSanitizer CHECK failed:
 ../../.././libsanitizer/asan/asan_rtl.cc:556 "((!asan_init_is_running &&
 "ASan init calls itself!")) != (0)" (0x0, 0x0)
     <empty stack>

 }}}

 I think this crash has not been introduced by latest 6.0a4 → 6.0a5 update
 but by some other package.

 I've updated many packages on my system in the last few days including
 glibc, but I don't know where to start. Is there any way to get more
 details or an idea where to search? I'm familiar with debuggers so if you
 can point me where to start I'll add more information here.
