   There's currently a bug in IRRd in the initialization of the IRRD_STATUS
and <DBNAME>.CURRENTSERIAL files.  Basically, it will not create the
<DBNAME>.CURRENTSERIAL file if it does not already exist (so you must
first initialize it by hand).  Further, if you do not pre-create it,
the IRRD_STATUS file will become corrupted when the registry database
is first updated.  Can you check if the IRRD_STATUS file exists in your
irr_directory and send me it's contents?  Also a backtrace of the Segfault
would be helpful.  


> gdb ./irrd
(gdb) run -f irrd.conf
(gdb) bt


  You should be able to fix the segfaults by removing the current
IRRD_STATUS file and initializing the <DBNAME>.CURRENTSERIAL file (put a
'1' in the first line of the file).
