I haven't looked too closely at whether there's any races for thread
termination.
My suspicions are still on a low-level synchronization bug.
Have you tried a more recent (3.19+ kernel) or trying to newer glibc?

I'm aware of this bug [1] which was supposed to affect kernels 3.14 - 3.18 but
perhaps there's a preexisting bug which affects your machine?
