If you apply the below patch, we should get some more information if
it happens again. Running your current version with --trace should
also produce the same information, but also a lot of other noise.

It would be good if you could set lshd up to dump core properly
when/if it crashes. As far as I know, the steps needed to do that is
to

1. Make sure that there's no limit on core size in the environment in
   which lshd is started.

2. Pass the --enable-core command line option to lshd in the start
   script.

3. The core files will be written to /core (when invoked in --daemonic
   mode, lshd chdirs to /). So / must be writable.
