The segmentationfault happens right after sending the authentication 
action. As soon as I send any authentication it terminates. I'll try to 
go through the whole bugreport as soon as possible but maybe this can 
help you get started. Sniffing the network also doesn't bring up any 
other relavent information. It doesn't recieve any other packages after 
sending the authentication. I use LDAP for authenticating my clients, 
maybe thats the problem
