I'm a colleague of Michael's and helped him debug this issue.

The interesting part of the backtrace is the following:

-- 8< --
#0  acl_object_deinit (_aclobj=0x30) at acl-api.c:23
        aclobj = <value optimized out>
#1  0x00007f4673f35e84 in acl_backend_deinit (_backend=<value optimized out>) at acl-backend.c:95
        backend = (struct acl_backend *) 0x0
-- >8 --

For a reason I haven't investigated yet, "backend" is NULL in
"acl_backend_deinit". This leads to a NULL-pointer dereference in
"acl_object_deinit".

The attached patch protects from this dereference but I have this
distinct feeling that I'm treating a symptom here.

Best regards,
