Mentalist Traceur: I'm experiencing those segfaults as well. It most likely does that because either root's directory is still RO or /tmp isn't available in that stage of the boot process yet.
I wanted to reply to your PM earlier, but I hadn't had access to the internet prior to today. I'm currently outide the country, so I can't dig into the issue yet. I'll be back home in a little over a week or so.
