I know that it crashes. And I know the area because mine is crashing, 
too, since I updated my sources from CVS.
I just didn't have the time to do any debugging, sorry, but I talked to 
Derrick about that backtrace and we weren't sure what that could be.
Just a little patience would help perhaps. I know about the problem but 
just haven't had the time to look into it.

What bothers me more is the problem with the volserver. I don't 
remember me doing anything to that code. ;-)
