Public bug reported:

When ulogd2 has problems reopening the pcap file it will crash
immediately or some seconds later - most likely due to first attempt to
flush packets to dump file after reopen (file NULL-ptr?).

Reproduce:

chown root.root /var/log/ulog/ulogd.pcap
chmod 0644 /var/log/ulog/ulogd.pcap

# Invoke command similar to logrotate:
invoke-rc.d ulogd2 reload

Mar  9 00:15:43 localhost ulogd[3567]: can't open pcap file 
/var/log/ulog/ulogd.pcap: Permission denied
Mar  9 00:15:44 localhost kernel: [210247.584746] ulogd[3567]: segfault at 0 ip 
00007fbd8379fda0 sp 00007ffff30e8ed0 error 4 in
