I'd be much better if you could enable writing of a coredump
(`ulimit -c unlimited`) and, when the daemon dies again, send in the
generated corefile, the binary (../sbin/collectd) and the plugins
(../lib/collectd/*.so), preferably packet in some kind of archive, e. g.
tar.

With these files at hand we can determine _where_ the problem occured
and hopefully fix it, removing the need to respawning the daemon.. ;)
