There have been several reports of a corrupt tasks.nzb file triggering
crashes/coredumps. Since you renamed the directory, if you haven't
deleted it yet, try restoring it and just moving/renaming the tasks.nzb
file. If that's it, it'll save the rest of your config, as well as
confirm that file as a problem trigger once again.
If that's the problem and you weren't downloading anything too personal,
I'd suggest filing a bug and attaching that file, as I'm beginning to
believe pan needs rather more robust handling for it and that would give
Heinrich and others something real to test against.
