i use the merit radius and I use it via inetd and not running standalone due to the core dump problem. I believe the problem is in the string library someplace. Ive noted that since 2.1.5, programs that make use of functions like strncmp, strcat, etc will sig 11 when they didnt used to. Instead of returning a null or a zero they cause a dump. Especially in instances such as searching for a substring if the string you are searching in has nothing in it (just 1 char '\0').
