because it really has too little information to debug this. Also this happens 
in a virtual machine running on the propietary vmware software. I'd guess 
that it might be related to that, maybe vmware doesnt cope well with 8 cores, 
or with 8 cores and the outdated 2.6.30 kernel, I dunno. 

But I do know that usually those tools you mentioned dont segfault and if they 
do, that usually indicates a hardware problem. And since "your hardware" is 
propietary software, I'm closing this bug.


cheers,
	Holger
