Recompile services with the -dumpcore option passed to configure (if it
isn't already - can we have this enabled by default in the alpha/beta?),
then wait for services to segfault and you should have a core file in
the same directory as the ircservices executable.

Feed it into gdb like this:

gdb /path/to/ircservices /path/to/core

gdb will spew out lots of rubbish, followed by a (gdb) prompt - type
'bt', then grab the resulting trace and post it to the list.
