What was the old value, and what did you change it to?

Are you saying that afsd crashes on service restart but not when it is started
for the first time after a reboot (with the same options)?

A bit old. You may want to check the change logs of later versions for
potentially relevant bug fixes.

Has a core file been left behind? If so, could you extract a backtrace from it?

To me this looks like an attempt to dereference a null pointer to a struct
(with the component of interest being at offset 0x18). A backtrace might
help one figure out where that unexpected null pointer came from.
