Zoltan -

Signal 11 is a segfault - a software failure.
The client programming has a defect, which may be incited by a problem
in that area of the file system (so have that investigated). A segfault
can be induced by memory constraint, which in this context would most
likely be Unix Resource Limits, so also enter the command 'limit' in
Linux csh or tcsh and potentially boost the stack size ('unlimit
stacksize'). This is to say that the client was probably invoked under
artificially limited environmentals.
