Which version of Upstart are those core files against? I've tried opening them against the binaries from fc9 (upstart-0.3.9-22-fc9.i386.rpm) but haven't had any luck

It _looks_ like the crash is due to bad data in the job->cause event information

#4 nih_str_array_append (array=0xbfbf8a48, parent=0x0, len=0xbfbf8a44, args=0x41) at string.c:534
 c_len = 5
 o_len = <value optimized out>
 arg = (char * const *) 0x5
 __FUNCTION__ = "nih_str_array_append"

I'm not sure why args would be 0x41 or why arg would 0x5 there - that looks wrong to me. I need to examine the data to figure it out.

Unfortunately I can't seem to replicate the issue here, I'm not convinced it is related to the date change though
