+        <teythoon> i've seen this, it comes and goes
+        <teythoon> not sure what happens, but i tend to blame it on our

+        <teythoon> from debian-ports, and it's outdated
+        <teythoon> it's most likely not your fault
+        <gnu_srs> i thought there was a new upstream by now

+        <tschwinge> braunr: And I thought, teythoon had found this to be a
+          buffer overflow; something like char dev[10], and for us the path to
+          the dev (/dev/eth0) was longer (but I may be misremebering).
+        <braunr> tschwinge: sounds reasonable
+        <tschwinge> braunr: By the way: I'm seeing this segfault all the time
+          during boot, but when I again run it manually (root login), it works
+          fine.
+        <braunr> tschwinge: you mean the dhclient one µ?
+        <tschwinge> Yes.

+        <teythoon> braunr, tschwinge: i never found the cause of the dhclient

+        <teythoon> i blame the (outdated) build on debian-ports

+        <youpi> gnu_srs: yes, the dhclient bug was in libc, as tschwinge
+          guessed
+        <youpi> I'll probably upload a fixed glibc on debian-ports
+
+        <gnu_srs> youpi: dhclient starts OK with libc 2.17-98~0
