Comment:

 Alright, I was able to reproduce the problem in both the Xen guest and the
 VirtualBox guest.  It doesn't appear to be related to any of the CFLAGS,
 or indeed any options passed to ./configure at all (I tried many combos).
 It only seems to happen if I start Tor using Debian's `/etc/init.d/tor
 start`.  If I call it directly @ `/usr/bin/tor` it does not generate a
 stack  trace.

 I thought perhaps it was something in how I built it from source, but this
 problem can be reproduced with the deb packages from the tor experimental
 repo as well, on a fresh install of Debian Jessie.  As soon as `Sandbox 1`
 is enabled, any attempt to start tor using `$ /etc/init.d/tor start` or `$
 service tor start` results in a stack trace.  Calling the binary directly
 starts without crash.
