For the sake of example, I finally managed to reproduce the
segfault *I* was getting a few days ago.

If you have an arch of type SKILL (43) and no "skill" field (for
example, left over from the old skill system), you get a
segfault at line 74 of skill_util.c.  The log output would look
exactly like what you pasted.

You can ALMOST NEVER tell the cause of a segfault by log
output.  A segfault is a major boo-hoo crash, and it would be a
lot of luck to have a log message just before one.
