    I hadn't tried cleannall and rebuild yet.I don't know what client my user was using, but I tried it myself with SyncTerm and saw it coredump. I don't think the user's client would matter, as sexyz is crashing on the Synchronet side before the upload even starts.

    What are the contents of the sexyz.ini file being read?Can you provide a gdb-backtrace from the coredump?Have you enabled any special build options (e.g. SANITIZE or FORTIFY)?
