I think rc=139 could also happen when a shared library is missing.
Heartbeat often tries to invoke other heartbeat-related programs and those
other programs themselves require various "*.so" files. If such a ".so"
file is absent this might cause rc=139.
The command "ldd {program-name}" should list the ".so" requirements of a
particular {program-name} and where they are on your system. So try that
"ldd ..." with the various heartbeat binaries on your system, and look for
indications of "not found" or similar.
If this is the case then it suggests an error in the packaging of your
heartbeat package. Let us (the list) know your findings (including your
package version, where your package came from etc.).
(The packaging can, in principle, ensure that all dependencies are
fulfilled. But the actual practice (by the packager) of doing this can
sometimes accidentally miss a dependency.)
Hope that helps.
