New issue 2454: ResumeDataDirectReader_getvirtual_ptr assertion error when profiling
https://bitbucket.org/pypy/pypy/issues/2454/resumedatadirectreader_getvirtual_ptr

Pierre Tardy:

Hello,
I am running buildbot_profiler within pypy docker image
The docker image I use is built here:
https://hub.docker.com/r/buildbot/buildbot-master-pypy/builds/baxjrgheh9v2meqwsjywfnb/

It is just a standard library/pypy image with buildbot installed in it, as well as buildbot_profiler:
https://pypi.python.org/pypi/buildbot-profiler/

When I start the profiler everything is fine until I add a bunch of load.
Then pypy crashes with the following traceback.

RPython traceback:

The profiler is using the following code to collect stack traces with a classical statistical profiling approach (SIG_TIMER based):

I didn't investigate yet posting the bug first. After some feedback I see how I can make an easier to reproduce setup.
