So here's a clean series that does that. I'm kicking myself a little for
not going this route immediately, and spending so much time trying to
deal with the actual race in code that is not even ours. :-/

It would replace what's queued in jk/lsan-race-with-barrier, though the
first two patches remain the same.

Since the grep exit codes and inversions are a little tricky, I checked
at each step that we continue to correctly report the leaks found by
doing:

diff --git a/t/helper/test-date.c b/t/helper/test-date.c
index f25512de9a..7bedb51eaf 100644
--- a/t/helper/test-date.c
+++ b/t/helper/test-date.c
@@ -54,8 +54,6 @@ static void show_dates(const char **argv, const char *format)
 
 		printf("%s -> %s\n", *argv, show_date(t, tz, mode));
 	}
-
-	date_mode_release(&mode);
 }
 
 static void parse_dates(const char **argv)

and running "./t0006-date.sh -i" (which should bail on test 23 and
report the full stack trace).
