Which is unfortunate.

Only place I see child reaching vfscanf is via check_monitor -> get_sys_tune,
but per test output it's not check_monitor child, but eatup_mem one.

I don't see why it would crash here, and why it happens on RISCV only.
I can only recommend to try simplify the testcase to see what triggers it.

Is this the only LTP test you see crashing? 
Is it built natively on RISCV or is it cross-compiled in other environment?
