The patch seems to help. Until installing xymon with the patch applied
I had segfaults every minute and since then, no segfault has happened
anymore for at least 10 minutes.
Hmm. I didn't realize it was crashing that often for you. :/

Would it be possible to run the previous copy of xymongen for a cycle or
two with --debug mode enabled? In theory, that should give us a good idea
of the trigger.
