I ran both tincs with "-d -d". the "Got SEGV" message is the only one
that goes into syslog. here's some more log output.
remote messages:

Srv's tinc.conf:
Hostnames=no
Interface=eth0
InterfaceIP=209.39.43.130
Name=Srv
PrivateKey=/etc/tinc/srv.private


Client's tinc.conf:
ConnectTo=Srv
Name=Client
PrivateKey=/etc/tinc/client.private

Client Host file:
Address=2.3.4.5
PublicKey=/etc/tinc/hosts/client.public
Subnet=192.168.111.0/24
Port=8080

Srv host file:
Port=8080
Address=1.2.3.4
PublicKey=/etc/tinc/hosts/srv.public
Subnet=192.168.110.0/24

Perhaps important: the Srv machine is Slackware 3.6, which means libc5.
Could that be the cause?
