giftd segfaulting?

in a discussion with a colleague i wanted to show that linux has a nice p2p sharing programme (they argued that windows and mac have much better p2p programmes).

so i pacman -Sy'ed gift, set it up, enabled the plugins (configured it) and started it. it connected to openFT, gnutella and fasttrack after some seconds. everything fine... but either it's demonstration effect or murphy's law (i myself don't use gift or any p22 at all) but unfortunately giftd keeps segfaulting after a short time always

in verbose mode:

[13:24:16] FastTrack: fst_fasttrack.c:306(fst_plugin_session_callback): CONNECTED to 62.234.52.127:1575, local ip: 192.168.1.33
Segmentation fault

Re: giftd segfaulting?

Gift works just fine for me.
