Hi Marc.

Thanks for the info. At the moment, I can't get the remote system administrator to respond to my emails so can't get the segfault recurring.

Should I get it crashing again, I'll upgrade to the backports kernel. That seems to be the path of least resistance.

Suggest we mark as unreproducible for the moment?
