Hi, Looking at the backtrace, this bug seems to be a (fairly) well-known segfault pattern of PPC architecture: "missing va_end call and/or abuse of va_list type" (only the first part is relevant). I believe the patch attached might fix the issue, but since I don't have an access to a PPC box, I couldn't test it. Could someone please apply the patch and check the result?
Regards, -- roktas
