Even to the classic server? That's strange since fb_inet_server is run 
from inetd/xinetd and if you can't connect there is something terribly 
wrong somewhere.

I wonder why killing is necessary.

I have similar segfault messages with 2.1.3.18185-0.ds1-11+b1 (64-bit 
squeeze), but these be emitted when clients disconnect from the server 
and are harmless.

Is this the same in your case or does the process crash during its 
work?
