That doesn't necessarily mean that 3.0.0 was fine.  It's a segfault (I'd 
guess some memory being accessed after being freed), and it comes and 
goes as I add debugging print statements --- so it might have been there 
in 3.0.0 but we just got lucky and it never surfaced.

Still, it's a start, and I'll try bisecting between 3.0.0 and 3.0.3 to 
see if some change caused it, rather than just triggered it.
