In the backtrace for a thread other than the main thread, it's normal
and expected for the backtrace to end at __clone; it's where the
thread started. The "corrupt stack" message is unwanted (musl should
be arranging for the frame pointer to be zero so that debuggers
recognize that there's nothing else on the stack, and maybe this needs
fixing) but I don't think it's necessarily indicative of any bug.
