Exactly.

Gentoo, but checking with the (then) stable 6.6 tarball.

That was good news. I tried to investigate a little deeper with strace, 
gdb… a little too deep for me actually. Then I eventually remembered: 
even though my install is pretty fresh, I've been a bit sloppy on 
maintenance, leaving one stuff to the side to catter to another, a few 
times over. One global update later — meaning I only have /usr/src in a 
corny state, now — I don't get the segfault either. Sorry, pebkac.

Thanks for your time,
