I may be seeing something similar while trying to run uml kernels. In my
case the segfault is in a memcpy very early on in the uml boot, no
libraries are involved, 2040 does exactly the same thing, and the same
thing happens with the 2039 kernel on an RH9 system. The kernels boot fine
with a 2.6 kernel under severn, or on a standard RH9 system.
