-----------------------------------------
Problem is, I do not have any "test case". I have 6 guests,
5 of them start without any problem. And then there is one,
which might start, or not. If it does not (and there is about
10% chance it might happen), I get that segfault.
All my guests (and host) are gentoo, updated to the last
stable versions. And this particular gentoo guest making
problems is actually just empty gentoo-template, with bind
(chrooted) installed. Nothing more...
I wrote a simple script which is started at the end of boot-up,
checks if there is this guest-name in vserver-stat output,
if not, starts it again until it is running and puts message
in counter-file (never had to do it twice consecutively).
This works but... it is not solution. Just workaround...
