I tried to keep quiet ... Just couldn't do it.  

Signal 11 (Segfault) is nearly always a Program bug (Accessing memory that is 
not allocated to the current process, frequently address zero, usually 
related to a pointer being used that has not been set correctly).   It is, 
nearly, impossible that it points to a hardware (memory, overclocking, etc.) 
problem.

I'd recommend trying to produce a core file and accept Davids' help.  That 
will, very likely, lead to a real diagnosis, and correction, of the problem.
