This problem could be the result of either alignment issues
(MIPS can't read a longword from a short boundary, for instance),
or endian issues. There have been some fixes to both these issues
with the latest v0.89, I would start with that.
Then, you should look through the FT code looking for any
cases where disk data is read into a buffer, and then pulled
out at any size greater than a byte, which will cause a segfault,
closing the socket. Running nano-X on one console, then switching
to another and running gdb on the client will show the exact
offending location.
