Crashes with attached images are getting reported more and more these days, but so far I was not able to reproduce it. Maybe it's related to ImageMagic 
somehow, in which case disabling this feature might give some insight. To do so, you have to modify elogd.c and recompile. Change

   /* check for ImageMagick */
   my_shell("convert -version", str, sizeof(str));
   image_magick_exist = (strstr(str, "ImageMagick") != NULL);


to

   /* check for ImageMagick */
   image_magick_exist = 0;
