Sorry please ignore this report -- according to Andrey, old gcc may
well generate false KASAN reports.

Oh wow, this gcc is even older than the other one that caused slob problems..

Linux version 4.14.0-rc8 (kbuild@intel11) (gcc version 4.6.4 (Debian 4.6.4-7))

Yeah, please do upgrade your compilers to something from this decade.

Sure. I'll drop gcc 4.4, 4.6, 4.8 testing.
