Hi, I purged my transmission-daemon, re-installed it, reverted the configuration file back to the one I used before purging. It magically worked. The daemon no longer segfaults. I am not entirely sure why...
I suppose you could close this bug? I don't think my experience could benefit anyone else. I am totally clueless why the daemon works with the same settings after purging and re-installing. P.S. I am not sure who I should CC this email to. So I am just CC-ing it to the address you CC-ed to.
