No, the segfault just started on July 30:

[17:40 providence:/var/log] # grep apcupsd everything.log* | grep segfault
everything.log:Jul 30 13:48:24 providence kernel: [603728.758431] apcupsd[3190]:
segfault at 0 ip 0805e0fc sp bfe397c0 error 4 in apcupsd (deleted)[8048000+39000]
everything.log:Aug  1 13:20:15 providence kernel: [171092.364247] apcupsd[3477]:
segfault at 0 ip 0805c706 sp bfcdfff0 error 4 in apcupsd[8048000+38000]

The only config change I can see in the apcupsd.conf.pacnew is:

LOCKFILE /var/lock  ->  LOCKFILE /etc/apcupsd

I can't see that causing a segfault, could it?

Now that you mention it, I don't know why it would refresh at shutdown. I think
this is just a normal log event that occurred between the time the apcupsd
shutdown was commanded at 13:20:15 and the ntpd refresh at 13:20:15. I just
don't think ntpd had time to get the message yet...

Thanks for your help. I occurred during a power event, so I guess we'll just
chock it up to stray voltage that somehow zapped the month bit in the bios ahead
by 1..... Sounds screwy, but I don't know the system/kernel/bios well enough to
know how else it could have occurred or what even interfaces with the hardware
clock for that matter. System time was fine up until the time of restart...
