(I sent this to grsecurity mailing list as well, i'm desperately seeking input. 
Yes, I run gentoo)

I'm running kernel 2.6.10, with the as2 patch, with grsecurity 20050124
patch.

I've been thrilled with it using it here on a server, except for one
problem i've run into. Proftpd keeps segfaulting , that is, signal 11
(SIGSEGV).

It worked fine for all of today, up till a while ago (while I was at
lunch, of course :P ), then clients could not log in, their FTP sessions
were immediately closed.

Logs show many lines similar to:

grsec: From 192.168.1.128: signal 11 sent
to /usr/sbin/proftpd[proftpd:386]
uid/euid:0/1001 gid/egid:407/407,
parent /usr/sbin/proftpd[proftpd:29018]

Now, does this mean grsecurity sent that signal? Or is this just the
signal logging?

I repeatedly stopped proftpd and started it back up, and kept getting
the same problem.

I rebooted to 2.6.10, and I am not having this problem, but needless to
say I'm very nervous.

Any ideas?
