Segfaults under Mac OS with multithreaded code

Under the most recent stable Rust compiler (1.27.1), my multithreaded programs have been segfaulting on Mac OS for no obvious reason. Even a toy program like this one will trigger a segmentation fault:

use std::thread::sleep;
use std::time::Duration;

fn main() {
    use std::thread::spawn;
    use std::sync::{Arc, Mutex};

    let i = Arc::new(Mutex::new(0));
    let j = Arc::clone(&i);

    spawn(move || {
        loop {
            sleep(Duration::from_secs(1));
            increment(&mut j.lock().unwrap());
        }
    });

    sleep(Duration::from_secs(10));

    println!("{}", i.lock().unwrap());
}

fn increment(i: &mut u32) {
    *i += 1;
}

and Mac OS's console log displays the following:

Since the toy program works just fine on a Linux system, is there some problem with Rust's compiler or is it a problem with my system? Any help would be appreciated!

I have seen various incidents of seg faults on macOS due to a bug in an older version of X code in its handling of TLS. But, I don't see any TLS in your stack trace unless I'm mistaken? What version of X code do you have?

I have Xcode version 7.3. Oh, and I'm running under Mac OS 10.12.6.

Looks like this was a bug in Rust's compiler after all, as the crashes no longer occur on my MacOS box using version 1.28.
