If it happens on arm but not on other platforms, my first guess would be an
alignment issue. (Arm segfaults on unaligned 4-byte read/write attempts,
rather than doing the two stage fetch thing other processors do.) It might
be in uClibc 0.9.27 (which is a really old version, and I vaguely recall a
bug like this in the networking stuff. DNS lookup, I think).
Is there any way you can try 0.9.29, which is the current stable uClibc
release?
