I don't think you'll get much help with something as old as 2.4. I
haven't touched 2.4 in years.

if these are 32-bit UMLs running on 64-bit hosts, there were various
host bugs (and I think maybe a UML bug or two) which would cause
process segfaults.

Don't sweat the process code. These are kernel bugs (either host or
UML) of some sort.
