Just experienced the same issue.

I have 2 openvpn instances (1 acts a client, the other a server).

If they start before bmcapture does (either of them it seems), then bmcapture segfaults.

I'm going to look into reordering the startup sequence to see if it helps.

EDIT: I've added modified /etc/init.d/bitmeter to have:

"# X-Start-Before: openvpn" To see if it helps, but I can't reboot at the moment. Also, this would obviously only work if anyone elses issue is identical to mine i guess (i.e. bitmeter and openvpn).
