Comment:

 Turns out the solution was archived in
 `contrib/clang/sanitize_blacklist.txt`.
 {{{
 # we need to allow the tor bt handler to catch SIGSEGV
 # otherwise address sanitizer munges the expected output and the test
 fails
 # we can do this by setting an environmental variable
 # See https://code.google.com/p/address-sanitizer/wiki/Flags
 # ASAN_OPTIONS=allow_user_segv_handler=1
 }}}

 Unfortunately the `allow_user_segv_handler` is not supported by older GCC
 versions but they do support `handle_segv=0` which prevents
 AddressSanitizer from installing its own segfault handler. The patch
 attachment:0001-Prevent-ASAN-from-registering-a-SIGSEGV-handler.patch
 fixed the issue for me.
