Thank you. The backtrace looked somewhat different and I thought it
got triggered with num-threads == 1 so I thought it would be a
different issue.

I now believe that this must have been a mistake on my part. I can not
reproduce this with num-threads == 1 any more. I must have originally
forgotten to restart Unbound after changing num-threads. Sorry about that.


I am happy to confirm that the patch at the following URL seems to
have corrected the problem:

https://unbound.net/pipermail/unbound-users/2012-September/002571.html

I will continue testing over the weekend to make sure the problem is
gone. I have applied the patch against Unbound 1.4.18 and 1.4.16 (the
latter with minor tweaks) and both seem to be running fine so far.

I have updated my Ubuntu bug report accordingly:
