I bet so. Ruby development is kind of hot and heavy. We had a lot of
problems with p174 and I put a fair amount of work into tracking down
segfaults and backporting fixes. (see 1.8.7.174-1ubuntu1) It isn't
easy, but saves the community a lot of work when they just get a
patched version through upstream through normal channels.

Let's be clear that the mount provider isn't segfaulting, but ruby is.
If we could narrow down exactly when it happened to a particular line
of code, that would be awesome as it makes searching the upstream bug
tracker a lot easier. In some cases it is something more meta though,
like the garbage collector.
