Upgrade to 0.86.1 and if it still segfaults, please let us know.
It will however be really difficult, in a production environment, to
get to catch such an e-mail. There are ways though, like running in
debug mode and keeping the temporary files.
Let's hear what you have to say after upgrade. I run several FreeBSD
boxes (4.11 and 5.x) with 0.86.1 and never have I ever gotten a
segfault.
