Just curious, but maybe a an execution trace using strace would help.
Then you'd know if it's trying to read a file (open a so file) or
something. Perhaps too netravers should compile a special version of the
installer with the '-g' flag, so people experiencing core dumps can give
you a core with actual symbols in there. That would ease in debugging.
Of course that will also make the installer much bigger, but people who
need it can still download it separately and give netraverse better
feedback (cores).
