The mirror had 4 legs I believe and I was trying to down convert it to 3 legs.

rip 00000031b8768f01 rsp 0000007fbffff620 error 4


I couldn't find a core to go with this, even though I have the ulimits set to
unlimited.

I'll try and reproduce this issue and gather more info.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
2.6.9-59.ELsmp
cmirror-kernel-2.6.9-37.1

How much reproducible this is? Could I replicate that myself? Under what 
setup? (I haven't noticed other reports of dmeventd segfaulting, but I 
understand people could just not notice...). Also, dmeventd actions are fairly 
rare in practice, I understand.
