[Icecast] Icecast segmentation faults

[chiapas at aktivix.org]

hi

i'm getting segfaults with Icecast thus:

Feb  7 10:27:06 server kernel: icecast[19308]: segfault at a36bc3db eip
0805d5e3 esp b78fd120 error 4
Feb  7 12:01:06 server kernel: icecast[20417]: segfault at dc2d718e eip
080571df esp b62540f0 error 5

i cron a script every minute to restart Icecast if it fails and to
notify me - so i know that this is happening about once every 12 hours
or so.  when this happens i get dropped connections from encoders and
clients.

the server's running FC8 with this kernel:

[root at server ~]# uname -a
Linux server 2.6.23.9-85.fc8 #1 SMP Fri Dec 7 15:49:59 EST 2007 i686
i686 i386 GNU/Linux

and here's what top shows:

questions:
i) any known reason for the seg faults?

ii) any known cure for this?

iii) any other advice?

many thanks in advance for your help
