If this is the same bug I saw a couple days ago, then it can be worked
around -- it's a bug in the kernel's "should I use execshield?" code.
So, disabling execshield altogether will fix it, though at a potential
cost of security.

echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/exec-shield

Comment added to bug as well.
