The faults I've seen from 0.4.0 are very different from those which
you report.  0.4.0 segfaults during exit as it attempts to execute code
in the dynamic linker (possibly a destructor?), after the dynamic linker
has been unmapped.

The 0.5.3 crashes I've seen look more like dereferencing random data.
