So I'm quoting from WAY back in the thread because it has relevant information.
We found the problem, and it had nothing to do with bacula. (Which means that the Director code has a real flaw that can cause segfaults.) The network card being used to back up the server was fried/frying/ whatever. It took a long time to figure this out - we weren't certain until we used a pci interrupt analyzer, and watched it go haywire during a backup. I don't know what about bacula backups caused this interrupt fload but rsync didn't do it. But it was clearly the card going nuts. A replacement card solved the problem. But anyway -- to bring this back to bacula -- so a client goes insane and starts sending nonsense to bacula (one assumes). What would make the director crash with a segfault? Sadly, I've now lost my replication ability for this bug...
