The first step in diagnosing a segfault in Linux is to enable core dumps in the shell in which you start eqlaunch:
Code:
ulimit -c unlimited
Then, once the zone crashes, you should have a core file, either just called 'core' or 'core.<process number>'.

Fire up gdb:
Code:
gdb <path to zone executable> <core file name>
Then once gdb has loaded up and gives you the (gdb) prompt, get a backtrace:
Code:
(gdb) bt
That should tell you the source file and line number that the crash occurred at, with a backtrace of how it got there. If you get that far, post the backtrace here and I'll take a look at it.
