[ocaml5-issue] Assertion failure during parallel `STM Out_channel` or `Sys` tests

[jmid]

The merge of #445 to main triggered an assertion failure and abort on Linux trunk during STM Out_channel test parallel: https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/multicoretests/actions/runs/8441854686/job/23121952174

Saw this again in focused tests on #304: Linux 5.3.0+trunk debug - this time on STM Sys test parallel https://github.com/ocaml-multicore/multicoretests/actions/runs/9131253128/job/25110039250?pr=304

I just observed this locally, on Linux running 5.2.0, trying a run with an extreme space_overhead o=20 and the debug runtime to see if it would reveal anything:

multicoretests$ OCAMLRUNPARAM="s=4096,o=20,v=0,V=1" dune build "@ci" -j1 --no-buffer --display=quiet --cache=disabled --error-reporting=twice --profile=debug-runtime src/

Closing as this as been fixed upstream and added in #475
