OK, dug up the random seeds that are causing the system to reboot, and it 
turns out that it's hard to reproduce the actual reboot, but in the cases 
where it doesn't reboot it segfaults in the same code path that was 
causing the other segfaults in this thread.  So I think it's all the same 
bug, although I can investigate further if needed.
