If you get a segfault, you should get a core file and get a gdb stack trace 
from the core file. Without a stack trace we have nothing to analyze and no 
way to help you. Also, make sure you compiled with full debug (-g) and no 
optimization, otherwise the trace will be unreliable.

I was able to connect once, and saw the same as you did - only 128KB saved - 
but I haven't been able to get anything at all since then. So I have no way to 
track down any of that behavior...
