xmonad segfaulting

Hello,

Recently I've been unable to start xmonad, getting segfaults:

> xmonad
[1]    23374 segmentation fault (core dumped)  xmonad

Unfortunately running this via gdb doesn't provide much info

> gdb xmonad

Any idea what might be the issue? I haven't researched the problem much because of lack of time, but maybe someone encountered something similar recently and has a solution?
