I've tarred one of the repositories that had it in a reproducible

That is wonderful.

so I can create a build and extract the tar and run against that to
verify any patches anybody might have, but unfortunately at 7GB of
company code and assets, I can't exactly share ;)

First step is to understand what is going on.  Only then could reliable 
patches be made.

If you want to point me in the right direction, I have a few hours to
kill this evening and fscking around with gdb(1) and printf() just might
be some of my favorite things</sarcasm> ;)

Heh.  ;-)

To start with, a simple log of what you need to do to reproduce the 
issue would be nice.  Just do

	script /tmp/foo

then reproduce the issue and exit, after which I'd be interrested in the 
content of /tmp/foo.
