Hi Patrick
I've been trying to reproduce this problem and it seems to only happen
intermittently. I was able to build systemd, so I couldn't reproduce the
above problem, and running the test case from the gnome bug[1] it only
segfaulted once out of maybe 10 trys. This leads me to believe it's not
just a stack overflow.
If you think you can help and just need access to hardware I can make
you an account on my server. Send me an email at this address if you're
interested.
