I hacked the thread-id into deb.c/Perl_vdeb() so that perl -Dt also prints thread-id. The crashes seem to occur when one thread does a POPBLOCK/LEAVE as a sort finishes inside the for(). I further noticed that when I change:

      for my $k (sort mycmp @list) {}

to simply:

      sort mycmp @list;

the crashes go away. Edited perl -Dtlsv output follows:
