I'll try the new user option first, then recompile, then report back.
Thank you very much and kind regards

I guess this is going to need recompilation with debugging symbols.
Something like:
DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip apt-get -oDPkg::Build-options=-rfakeroot -b source
I guess it will need something like 30 minutes and 500MB on a modern
machine.
(You should use the sources from sid, which support nostrip better).
Then you can rerun with gdb or catchsegv.
Did you test with a new user? (adduser fftest)
