Dear Maintainer,
I usually run amule on this machine, while logged in with gnome at the
console. I am now trying to configure amule daemon in order to use amule from
remote.

I installed the daemon package and configured it to run as the same user I
usually log on, so this is sharing the configuration of the "normal" amule
command.
Of course, the amule command is not running at this time.

Now, when I start the daemon, it crashes immediately. I researched for any way
to collect more information of the problem, so I installed the -dbgsym
packages and collected a complete stack trace using gdb. It is copied below.

The $HOME/.aMule/logfile contains:

Version: 1:3.1.0-3
Distribution: unstable

Changed-By: Sandro Tosi <morph@debian.org>
Closes: 1076605
Changes:
 amule (1:3.1.0-3) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   [ Sven Geuer ]
   * debian/amule.install, debian/amule-common.install
     - move the icons to amule-common, so that amulegui shows its icon also
       when amule is not installed (MR !12)
 .
   [ Sandro Tosi ]
   * debian/patches/PR1703.patch
     - cap the inflation of a compressed part at the requested block; a single
       OP_COMPRESSEDPART packet could inflate to about 2 GB and exhaust memory
       (GHSA-hv8p-rp6f-rmf7)
   * debian/patches/PR1701.patch
     - reject an OP_HASHSETANSWER shorter than a file hash, which made aMule
       read past the receive buffer
   * debian/patches/PR1704.patch
     - bound the unpacking of downloaded ipfilter, server.met and GeoIP
       archives in size and depth; a small archive could fill the disk or
       recurse until the stack overflowed (GHSA-42j9-4vh7-jvw6); backported
       to 3.1.0, which has no tar support yet
   * debian/patches/ec_notifier_uninitialised.patch
     - fix amuled crashing at startup when external connections are enabled
       with an empty EC password and there are downloads to resume;
       Closes: #1076605
   * debian/patches/PR1594.patch
     - add Origin, now that the change is merged upstream
   * debian/control
     - bump debhelper compat to 14
     - drop the substvars, now applied automatically
     - drop Priority, optional is now the default
     - amule-common: add Breaks and Replaces on amule (<< 1:3.1.0-3~), for the
       icons moving over
     - drop the Breaks on xmule and the Replaces on astats, both gone from the
       archive since well before any supported release
     - bump Standards-Version to 4.7.4.1 (no further changes needed)
   * debian/amule-daemon.init
     - implement the status action
   * debian/upstream/metadata
     - add Changelog and Documentation
   * debian/bug-presubj
     - point to the current upstream bug report guide, the old wiki is no
       longer reachable
   * debian/rules
     - drop the import-orig target, git-import-orig no longer exists
   * debian/README.source
     - remove, it only said that the package uses quilt, which the 3.0 (quilt)
       source format already implies
   * debian/tests/
     - add smoke tests for the command-line tools: version strings, ed2k hashes
       computed by alcc against the RFC 1320 MD4 vectors, ed2k link queueing,
       and amulecmd failing cleanly with no core running; none starts amule
