Hi Marty, have a look at the crash dump. If it is the same issue (within the same library code), you should have a segfault with a non-zero pointer, that occurs while parsing dates with US time zones. At least that's when we had the issue.
I forgot one important information: obviously, this is only an issue if you're compiling 64 bit binaries. 32 bit binaries will just be happy with the 32 bit pointers.
