Can try installing it again, to see if the segfault occurs again in the
same place and report it in this bug?
Comment 3 Andreas K. Hüttel archtester gentoo-dev 2009-11-23 11:57:04 UTC
I was re-emerging the package already. No, the problem is not reproducible. The second time everything worked fine.

Some sort of Heisenbug. Let's leave it NEEDINFO for now.
I remember seeing this message before once already, but have no idea anymore what package that was...
Comment 4 Dawid Węgliński (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-23 12:30:10 UTC
Exactly. As i've already seen such errors before they were 100% nonreproducible. It looks more like random hardware failure. I'd run memtest to see if it may be RAM problem.
Comment 5 Dawid Węgliński (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2009-11-23 12:30:28 UTC
Closing as WORKSFORME.
