Segmentation fault in sklearn.metrics.pairwise_distances with OpenBLAS 0.3.28 (only pthreads variant)

```
mamba create -n testenv scikit-learn python=3.12 libopenblas=0.3.28 -y
conda activate testenv
PYTHONFAULTHANDLER=1 python /tmp/test_openblas.py
```

```py
# /tmp/test_openblas.py
import numpy as np

from joblib import Parallel, delayed
from threadpoolctl import threadpool_limits

from sklearn.metrics.pairwise import pairwise_distances


X = np.ones((1000, 10))


def blas_threaded_func(i):
    X.T @ X


# Needs to be there and before Parallel
threadpool_limits(10)

Parallel(n_jobs=2)(delayed(blas_threaded_func)(i) for i in range(10))

for _ in range(10):
    distances = pairwise_distances(X, metric="l2", n_jobs=2)
```

This happens with OpenBLAS 0.3.28 but not 0.3.27. Setting the `OPENBLAS_NUM_THREADS` or `OMP_NUM_THREADS` environment variable also make the issue disappear.
 
This is somewhat reminiscent of https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/21479 so there may be something in OpenBLAS 0.3.28 [^1] that doesn't like `threapool_limits` followed by `Parallel`? No idea how to test this hypothesis ... this could well be OS-dependent since https://github.com/scipy/scipy/issues/21479 only happens on Linux.

[^1]: OpenBLAS 0.3.28 is used in numpy development wheel and OpenBLAS 0.3.27 is used in numpy latest release 2.1.2 at the time of writing

I saw this segmentation fault locally when running the scikit-learn tests:
```
pytest --pyargs sklearn.metrics.tests
```

which can be reduced a bit more:
```
pytest --pyargs sklearn.metrics.tests.test_classification sklearn.metrics.tests.test_pairwise -k 'classification and nan_valid and scoring0 or test_parallel_pairwise_distances_diagonal and float64' -v
```

If I had to guess the reason that it has not been seen in the CI is that it doesn't test advanced parallelism very thoroughly: in most CI builds there are 2 cores and pytest-xdist is used so neither BLAS nor OpenMP parallelism. We have a CI build without pytest-xdist but since we have two cores, we probably only use BLAS parallelism or OpenMP parallelism, not both at the same time.

COMMENT:
Actually, when running the `mamba create -n testenv scikit-learn python=3.12 libopenblas=0.3.28 -y` on macOS, I end up with the openmp variant of openblas instead of the `pthreads` version you reported above:

```

So rather than being OS-specific, it might be specific to the use of `libopenblas-pthreads`. However, I cannot manage to install `mamba install "libopenblas==*=*pthreads*"` on macOS. I suppose the pthreads version does not exist on macOS on conda-forge.
