Unison ssh remote segfaulting

Hi everyone,

since some time I'm struggling with my unison that used to sync a folder between my desktop and an HTPC/Server.

Unison connects fine with the server but before syncing anything it only says
Fatal error Lost connection with the server

Looking in the server logs the culprit seems to be here (entries in reversed order)

Sep 24 21:18:44 Lummerland sshd[21401]: Disconnected from 192.168.123.41
Sep 24 21:18:44 Lummerland systemd[1]: Started Session c4 of user desktop.

Sep 24 21:18:46 Lummerland kernel: unison[21402]: segfault at fffffffffffffff9 ip 00000000004d4e5d sp 00007ffd3fdfe8c8 error 5 in unison-text[400000+11a000]
Sep 24 21:18:44 Lummerland sshd[21399]: Accepted password for desktop from 192.168.123.41 port 43765 ssh2
Sep 24 21:17:36 Lummerland su[21391]: pam_unix(su:session): session opened for user root by desktop(uid=1002)

Both machines are x64 and up to date using unison 2.48.3-2

My preferences file is as follows:

# Unison preferences
root = /home/mb/media/Bilder
root = ssh://desktop@192.168.123.26//srv/media/photo/
sshargs = -C

I already played with the sshargs without success

Since I'm doing the syncing only from time to time plus I cleaned my package cache (...) I cannot tell which unison version was the first "buggy" one.
Also google was no help so far.

Any clues what I could try? Are there any servers keeping older versions of packages that I could try?

Thanks a lot!
