smartd dumps core

Tue May 7 12:06:38 UTC 2013

Hello.

I've installed smartmontools on several machines, both i386 and amd64, 
8.3 or 9.1.

On one box in particular, though, it dumps core.
There are two SCSI and four SATA HDs here.

The stacktrace:

 From what I can get, the crash happens when a SCSI HD is queried.
In fact, "smartctl -a" works fine for SATA drives, but will dump core 
too with SCSI HDs.
Again, here's the stack:

Is there something I can try?
Should I report upstream?
