Note: see also the FAQ in the source distribution.
It contains workarounds to several common problems.
In particular, if Valgrind aborted or crashed after
identifying problems in your program, there's a good chance
that fixing those problems will prevent Valgrind aborting or
crashing, especially if it happened in m_mallocfree.c.

If that doesn't help, please report this bug to: www.valgrind.org

In the bug report, send all the above text, the valgrind
version, and what OS and version you are using.  Thanks.

Comment 1 Mark Wielaard 2023-05-25 15:17:54 UTC
I can replicate this with valgrind-3.21.0-4.fc38.x86_64.
It looks like the inferior function call gets something confused.
Either the current thread or stack pointer depending on where we try the print strlen call.
