Thanks. That means this bug is distinct from the other release critical RC bug.

Alright. That's indeed a little bit odd. Your backtrace indicated that there 
might
be something wrong with reading the contents of a directory or file permissions.
It did not show any sign that the segfault is related to libgnutls.so.

However there are other bug reports that mention segfaults due to libgnutls.so.

https://bugs.debian.org/734211

or another similar bug report

https://bugs.debian.org/740949

They all claim that setting

speed-limit-down-enabled": true

in the configuration file would cause the segmentation faults but not if set to
false.

Your case seems to be different because you had set the value to false 
according to your
initial report.

Now you could still try to purge transmission-daemon and all other transmission 
packages from your
system and also clean all configuration files. Then reinstall the packages 
again and try to
reproduce the crash but this time try to get a backtrace with "bt full". 
Perhaps this helps to find
an answer.


Regards,

Markus
