Not that I can think of.

In the past, were you scanning this particular service (port 1581 is where it runs by default, I think)?

My sys admins (albeit irritated) are looking for a root cause.

IBM should be able to provide a definitive answer so I hope you're contacting them.

The log entries come from plugins that scan CGI directories, which suggests you may be able to avoid future segfaults by disabling CGI scanning (it's a checkbox in the "Global variable settings" preference).
