Looks like printing to file on android is not thread safe, so logging on different threads at the same time produces garbled output as in the attached sample.

So we'd need to lock around the calls the `fprintf_stderr` [1,2]. Other calls to fprintf_stderr (or really anything that outputs to androids syslog) could still be intermixed. I wonder if this really Android only or if it affects all platforms.

It's probably not limited to android. I just got this log on linux when I ran mochitest under rr in chaos mode.
