As the next statement in my mail said I haven't looked, no. I did know
that the problem was in my installation as 2.4 works in many installations
but had a hell of a time finding out what was wrong. Specially since this SEGV
did not generate a core whatever I did.
Sorry if I sounded irritated but it really took me a long time to find a way
to debug this.
Best regards
