(Get the code!)
It is init segfaulting. In the distribution I use (Fedora 9) init is part of upstart RPM.
Unfortunately I can't provide right now the exact sequence of commands plus the upstart jobs since that would involve quite a big amount of my employers code.
The general idea is that I've got about 20 tasks which are started by upstart when the main task (watchdog) starts (I'm using "start on" stanza). While the tasks are running I change the date to previous day using "date" command. Then I stop all these tasks (including watchdog) and when they all have stopped I start the watchdog task again. At this point init daemon segfaults when starting one of the 20 tasks (it happens randomly with a different task each time). The same problem happens (but a bit less often, around 50% of the time) when I change the date after all the tasks were stopped.
Is there anything else I can provide to help with fixing this bug?
I'm attaching three core files from different crashes.
