The dynamic loader is sensitive to VM bugs, as are several of the glibc tests. Too bad you probably can't run the glibc testsuite on this kernel. Given your earlier comments it would seen the segfault is not reproducible and happens often and randomly? The _dl_fixup routine is very complicated, and eventually responsible for mapping in a new shared library. This could tickle any number of VM bugs. The only way I know how to solve this class of problem is to start bisecting the kernel until it works again and determine what commit made the stability worse. $0.02. I'm still organizing the new house Kristine and I are renting, and my rack is only partly cabled up at this point. I'll try to get on that ASAP so I can also have a look at the latest kernel.
