Actually not quite true. I'm running pan on my x86-based Debian box, and it was
suffering the same issues. I found that one of the bug reports had a one-line
patch that fixed the problem. The bug report is
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=193307 . Try rebuilding with
that change - I've been running pan for the last several days with zero crashes
since rebuilding with that fix.
