I'm a bit lost. Assuming you use gdb, do you see two different traces?
If so, maybe depending on the cases, some objects differ a bit,
meaning crashes at a different level (in the caller or in the callee).

I've just cherry-picked a patch from upstream to fix an issue in the
callee. If that fixes your bug, I'd then be interested in knowing
whether my patch against the caller can be reverted without triggering
some crashes again (in other words: is it useful at all).

I'll mail you back in a moment with a link to the i386 binaries,
that's probably going to be easier for you?

Mraw,
KiBi.
