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?
NB: A google turned up this which may be related:
