I think that has 3 merge commits in it, mozregression couldn't hang.
Line 637 is: DCHECK_GE(counts_[index], 0);

Bug 1344893 is the only one in that range that has data-review that I can see.
Manual bisection points to bug 1350765. Ehsan, can you take a look?
Blocks: 1350765
Yes, I will look.  Sorry about this.
Flags: needinfo?(ehsan)
I tried to reproduce this locally without any luck whatsoever.  I tried running some of the tests in comment 0, running the whole suite by passing --total-chunks and --this-chunk a few times and nothing seems to help.

Do I need to apply some magic environment variables and/or settings in order to activate telemetry during tests?  Any idea what I need to do in order to trigger these messages locally during the tests?  So far I have failed to trigger a single message from histogram.cc and I'm not sure what to do with this bug...  :/

I didn't see any interesting runtime flags, but here's an example linux64-dbg build config from treeherder:

Until we understand this, i'm worried about this having impact on Telemetry collection on Nightly.
Can we back out bug 1350765 until this is cleared up?

These seem most relevant.
The histogram.cc debug logging is active when `DEBUG` is defined. (Is that set from --enable-debug?)

Also i assume you are probably busy enough Ehsan - if it's not urgent to land bug 1350765, we can take this.

Sigh, sure.  I'm never going to touch telemetry code ever again.  I'm going to back out bug 1350765 and unassign myself from it.  :-(

Bug 1350765 is backed out now, this should be fixed when that hits your favorite branch.
