Any application that is linked against libtcmalloc gets SISEGV if it's being run with libtorsocks preloaded. However, it depends on preloading order.

If libtorsocks is preloaded first, app segfaults:

[~]$ LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib64/torsocks/libtorsocks.so /usr/lib64/libtcmalloc_debug.so" uname -a
[1]    7817 segmentation fault (core dumped)  LD_PRELOAD= uname -a

If, instead, libtcmalloc is preloaded first, everything is OK:

[~]$ LD_PRELOAD="/usr/lib64/libtcmalloc_debug.so /usr/lib64/torsocks/libtorsocks.so" uname -a
Linux spock 3.19.0-pf3 #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Mar 24 17:14:04 EET 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The problem is that if an app in question is linked against libtcmalloc, torifying it via "torify" or "torsocks" wrapper always leads to segfault because libtorsocks is loaded before libtcmalloc.

Attempt made to debug any app leads to non-informative backtrace:

I use torsocks v2.0.0 and libtcmalloc v2.4.

So my questions are:

1. should this be libtorsocks or libtcmalloc issue?
2. how should I get more info on this bug?
3. what should be done to fix the issue?
