Does this help:  http://paste.ubuntu.com/23069854/ ?

One way to test this would be to create a simple C-based application and
link it against glibc 2.19 and then try to C/R that one. This will
completely debunk the theory that the glibc is the culprit.

Regarding your VM question - this is a simple centos 6.7 installation,
running on kernel 4.4 (CRIU check says that everything looks good) and
I've built criu with the following build script:
