The qsort interceptor results in an infinite loop on FreeBSD as can be seen from this backtrace:

The problem is that qsort() calls qsort() on individual parts of the array which ends up calling the interceptor again. However, the interceptor uses a thread local function pointer for the comparator wrapper.

The interceptor code does not handle this case:

  qsort_compar_f old_compar = qsort_compar;
  qsort_compar = compar;
  SIZE_T old_size = qsort_size;
  qsort_size = size;
  REAL(qsort)(base, nmemb, size, wrapped_qsort_compar);
  qsort_compar = old_compar;
  qsort_size = old_size;

In the first call it will assign the real comparator to qsort_compar, but in the recursive call from inside qsort qsort_compar will end up being set to wrapped_qsort_compar and it ends up being an infinite loop.
