These crashes should be resolved in commit 051acc7d (master) and 7d83a0cb 
(r14.0.x branch). Thank you for your report of the problem!

By the way, what do you have the kernel - are files in sysfs 
folder /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu available to a regular user?

Cheers

Picking this up again after a hectic month... Thanks for the fixes, these haven't yet worked there way through to the Mageia packages, but the crash also seems to be have been solved by one of the most recent Mageia updates (I think one was a kernel update), which presumably corrected the underlying problem. After being away for a week for a conference I ran all the latest updates and after the reboot the login crash, which still occurred but no longer caused Trinity to exit thanks to the previously suggested edits to starttde had gone away, so I tried reverting starttde to the original version and that now works as well.

For reference, this is what I'm currently getting from sysfs, however that may have been different prior to the kernel update.
