OK, back with access to the Ubuntu machine, I reproduced the crash when running under gdb (reproducing it is never an issue, finding the minimal case is the issue). See below for gdb output. But my vm has no debug information compiled, so it is not really useful. Can I download a vm with debug info compiled from somewhere? I would prefer to avoid having to download the sources and compile et cetera …
Once I have such a VM I will make some time to further investigate, and report results. Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault. 0xb8c2bc31 in ?? () (gdb) bt #0 0xb8c2bc31 in ??
