Crond and segfaults

Hi,

I've noticed the following lines in my /var/log/messages.log

Jan  4 17:00:01 localhost kernel: [37119.517858] crond[11346]: segfault at 5696 ip 0000000000005696 sp 00007fff08a437b8 error 14 in crond[400000+c000]
Jan  4 17:01:01 localhost kernel: [37179.396998] crond[11351]: segfault at 5696 ip 0000000000005696 sp 00007fff08a437b8 error 14 in crond[400000+c000]
Jan  4 17:21:02 localhost -- MARK --
Jan  4 18:01:01 localhost kernel: [40771.106407] crond[11984]: segfault at 5696 ip 0000000000005696 sp 00007fff08a437b8 error 14 in crond[400000+c000]

Looking at /var/log/crond.log, i've found :

Jan  4 17:00:01 localhost /usr/sbin/crond[11346]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_unix.so
Jan  4 17:01:01 localhost /usr/sbin/crond[11351]: PAM unable to dlopen(/lib/security/pam_unix.so): /lib/libpthread.so.0: symbol __ctype_init, version GLIBC_PRIVATE not defined in file libc.so.6 with link time reference

Jan  4 18:01:01 localhost /usr/sbin/crond[11984]: PAM adding faulty module: /lib/security/pam_unix.so

My crond comes from the core/cronie package and all my system is up to date (daily pacman -Syu)...

Any clue?
