Valgrind segfaults running threaded code under MacOS 10.14.6

[pxcrafter]

This seems to be a historic bug and is related to MacOS X libsystem_pthread.dylib.

This bug occurs on my system (Mac OS 10.14.6) when trying to run valgrind on a Qt for Python application.
Here the bug output:

Hi @prjoh,

Thank you for your report! This is related to the lack of support for wqthread (#4), I have some patches in progress but nothing stable unfortunately. Please refer to the other issue for updates.
