I don't have a FreeBSD box to test the code on, so it's not surprising
that there are bugs in the code :/

By far the most useful information with a problem like this is, as
Sebastian has pointed out, a stack backtrace which you can get by
building collectd with `--enable-debug' and then run the daemon from
a debugger. Alternatively you can have the daemon write a coredump
(using the bash-builtin `ulimit' or whatever mechanismn your shell uses)
and analyse that with a debugger.

Sorry that I can't tell you any more than this, but without access to a
machine with that libc, compiler, etc it's hard to tell where a segfault
comes from :/

Regards,
-octo
