Can you confirm that this is still the case? I suspect the segfault is indicative of hardware errors rather than anything else.
Currently I'm not using Gentoo any more, so I cannot verify if the problem still exists.
Okay - please change status to RESOLVED NEEDINFO.
please reopen if this is still the case
