Core dump on mint 17.1

Core dump on mint 17.1

Dear Maintainers,

Ever since updating to linux Mint 17.1,  I have been getting emacs has been
dumping core every couple of days.  I rebuilt with symbols enabled and you
will find the backtrace below.  The emacs is sitting idle, typically while
the computer is idling with the screen blanked.  I think the crashes has
something to do with threads; I would not be surprised to find that the
error occurs in the libpthread or libc, but I wanted to notify you of the
failure in case it is actually emacs-related.

Please let me know if there is any further information you need.

Regards,
  Vin Shelton
