`os.Worker` Can Call a NULL Context-Factory Callback in an Incompletely Initialized Embedder

[kid-lxy]

This issue was reproduced in a custom fuzzing harness -- fuzz_eval.
It was not reproduced as a crash with the standard command:

qjs --std worker_crash.js

Minimal Reproducer

new os.Worker("/tmp/existent_worker.js");

A second reproducer triggering the same root cause is:

new os.Worker("data:text/javascript,");

The module argument does not appear to be important because the crash occurs while creating the worker runtime or context.

Reproduction Command

timeout 30 ./fuzz_eval worker_crash.js

The exact path to the embedding executable may be changed as needed.

Observed Result
The sanitizer reports a segmentation fault at address zero in a worker thread.
