Hi,

Update:

The runlevel thing was not a solution (I assumed kind of a racing condition and 
thought the deferred start of heartbeat would solve this) but it happened again.

I know have the suspicion that it is caused by the missing hb_generation file 
on the freshly installed server. After re-reading the docs I was wondering why 
I didn't run into a reply attack protection anyway ??

I tried now with "hbgenmethod time" and my reinstall-procedure now succeeded 
without coredump (at least one try, I'm getting tired of doing this 
installation thing all the time again...).

Still I have a little concern that a new joining node, whether legal or not and 
whether it behaves nice or not, can cause my running heartbeat to fail in this 
dramatic way...

Regards,
Bernhard
