The typical reason for segfaults is bad hardware.  A v20z is a pretty  
decent server class machine, though, so unless its suffering from an  
undetected condition it should scream bloody murder if something goes  
bad. This is assuming it has ECC memory and you aren't ignoring that  
big yellow "maintenance" light that comes on when something bad  
happens, like a fan going down.

Can you get into the LOM and check the environmentals?
