I've heard several reports about this, and it seems that busybox (or
something it executes) is getting a sigsegv. This only happens on sun4m
(and I suspect only on LX's), and all attempts to track it down have
failed. I suspect the kernel, but I'm just not sure enough about where it
comes from (coupled with the fact that I don't have a sun4m locally to
test).

Let me know if you are able to track it down.
