I was looking at the cores from the above 2 instances, the one in job
873 is been a typical pattern, where malloc fails as there is internal
header corruption in the free bins.

When examining the victim that would have been allocated, it is often
carrying incorrect size and other magic information. If the data in
victim is investigated it looks like a volfile.

With the crash in 871, I thought there maybe a point where this is
detected earlier, but not able to make headway in the same.

So, what could be corrupting this memory and is it when the graph is
being processed? Can we run this with ASAN or such (I have not tried,
but need pointers if anyone has run tests with ASAN).

Here is the (brief) stack analysis of the core in 873:
NOTE: we need to start avoiding flushing the logs when we are dumping
core, as that leads to more memory allocations and causes a sort of
double fault in such cases.

Core was generated by `/build/install/sbin/glusterfsd -s
builder101.cloud.gluster.org --volfile-id /sn'.
