Hi Patrick I've been trying to reproduce this problem and it seems to only happen intermittently. I was able to build systemd, so I couldn't reproduce the above problem, and running the test case from the gnome bug[1] it only segfaulted once out of maybe 10 trys. This leads me to believe it's not just a stack overflow. If you think you can help and just need access to hardware I can make you an account on my server. Send me an email at this address if you're interested. -David [1] https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736077#c1 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=736077#c2
