14 that's a null function ptr dereference from the look of it,
15 on the stack i can see /proc/mounts so probably that was the
16 last thing chown wanted to access. you'll have to enable
17 coredumping (ulimit -c unlimited), disable randomization
18 on chown (chpax/paxctl -r) and analyze a coredump in gdb
19 (at least we'll need a stack backtrace, 'bt').
