There is a bug I introduced in Genesis patch 21.  It may cause SEGV
because it can possibly cause it to read into pages it should not be
involved with.  Quick fix is to edit src/strutil.c and edit lines
1160-1161, changing:

            return str_rindexc(s, len, *ss, -origin);
        return str_rindexs(s, len, ss, slen, -origin);

To:

            return str_rindexc(s, len, *ss, origin);
        return str_rindexs(s, len, ss, slen, origin);

Sorry for the inconvenience..
