So this is a crash in the gnutls library used for XMPP. Someone else using OSX reported a similar crash to me by email, reproducible reliably by setting up xmpp with google. This is great debugging info:
<pre>
Thread 3 Crashed:

</pre>
Looks like `gnutls_deinit` was called and it crashed there, inside pthread code. So I think git-annex has already managed to connect to the XMPP server (to test it) and the cleanup is where it's crashing.
This is the second time I have seen a gnutls-related crash using XMPP. The other one was tracked down by John Millikin to a resource allocation bug in haskell-gnutls and fixed.
I have written a test case that reproduces the problem -- just forking a dozen threads that each try to connect to the google xmpp server and then close the connection. After a dozen or so succeed, one will reliably cause a segfault. Forwarded this test case to John.
