[collectd] crashing collectd

Sun Jun 8 05:09:50 CEST 2014

Haven't had any since this.

It's pretty concerning however.

I am going to have to put in some ad-hoc bandaid to restart it from its crashes, 
save the crash, auto-email a stack-trace, etc., etc.

And that's disappointing, besides being a hack...

Why is collectd crashing?
